About the name Jozimar
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Jozimar as a spelling variant of Josimar, which it describes as a probable variant of Josemar. In the morpheme list, the beginning Josi-/Jozi- has an uncertain origin, and Guérios, cited there, sees in Josemar a blend of José with an abbreviated form of Maria. The ending -mar, according to the morpheme list, may come from the Germanic element mar, 'glory, fame, bright person', from an abbreviation of Maria, or from the Portuguese noun mar, 'ocean'. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,086 people named Jozimar, with a median age of 38, almost always men. Proportionally, it is most common in Minas Gerais.
