About the name Lindinalva
Lindinalva combines the beginning Lind- with the ending -nalva. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links Lind- to Germanic lint, 'protector', present in Lindolfo and Lindeberto, but notes that the formative may also come from an adjective in Portuguese or from names such as Lindaura. For -nalva, the same dictionary proposes, with doubt, Latin alba, 'white, bright', and cites Marinalva and Lucinalva. The origin of Lindinalva as a whole name is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 20,535 people named Lindinalva, with a median age of 55. The name is almost always female, peaked among people born in the 1960s and, proportionally, is most common in Pernambuco.
