About the name Lucivaldo

The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Lucivaldo as Luci- + -valdo. According to the Morfemário of the same dictionary, Luci- is probably a fragment of names such as Lúcia and Lúcio. For the ending -valdo, the Morfemário gives several possible Germanic origins, among them walt/wald, 'the one who rules', hard/hart, 'strong', and bald, 'bold, daring'; for this reason the meaning of the whole name is not known with certainty. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 12,857 people named Lucivaldo, with a median age of 42; proportionally, the name is most common in Pará.
