About the name Laiane
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) classifies Laiane, with doubt, as a Brazilianism and proposes three formations: Lai-, perhaps taken from names such as Laís and Laila, plus -ane; the generic element La- plus -iane; or a variant of Daiane with a different initial consonant. In the morphemary of the same project, -ane comes from French -anne, and -iane is perhaps a fragment of names such as Cristiane. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 33,915 people named Laiane, with a median age of 21; proportionally, the name is most common in Piauí. The dictionary lists Layane, Laianne, Layanne and Laiany among the spelling variants.
It is the most recorded spelling in the group and the form the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil uses as its entry.
