About the name Marilane
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Marilane as Mari- + -lane and cites the variants Marelane and Marylane. According to the Morfemário, Mari- is probably a piece taken from names such as Maria, Mariana and Marina, and the origin of -lane is uncertain: perhaps from the English name Lanie, perhaps from the French -ane with a linking -l-. So the meaning of the whole name is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,018 people named Marilane; proportionally, it is most common in Amazonas.
