About the name Marildo
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Marildo as Mar- + -ildo and defines it as the masculine of Marilda; Marilda, in turn, is presented, according to Machado (1981), as a contraction of Maria and Ilda. The element -ildo comes from Germanic hild, 'combat', according to the Morfemário (morpheme list) of the same dictionary. Because it is a compound formation, the whole name has no documented meaning. Most of the people were born in the 1960s and 1970s, and the name is almost always male. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 3,116 people named Marildo, with a median age of 50.
