About the name Josileide

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil analyzes Josileide as Josi- + -leide and records Jozileide as a spelling variant. The element Josi- has an uncertain origin: the oldest name recorded with it is Josimar, perhaps a variant of Josemar, and the dictionary suggests also considering the forms Jose-/Joze-, since an unstressed e can become i. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 6,044 people named Josileide, with a median age of 43, most of them born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and almost always women.
