About the name Marinaldo
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil describes Mari- as a probable fragment of names such as Maria, Mariana and Marina, and gives the ending -naldo, like -aldo and -valdo, several possible Germanic origins: walt/wald, 'one who rules'; hard/hart, 'strong'; bald, 'bold, daring'; or old, 'old'. The same dictionary analyzes Marinalda as Mari- + -nalda, a formative that it considers probably the feminine of -naldo. Because the ending has several origins, the whole name has no meaning known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 14,172 people named Marinaldo, with a median age of 46, and, proportionally, the name is most common in Paraíba.
