About the name Neilde
The origin of the spelling Neilde is uncertain. It ends in -ilde, and the Morfemário (morpheme list) of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) links the element -ilde to the Germanic hild, 'battle', in names such as Hilda, Clotilde and Ivanilde. This shows the pattern of the ending, not the specific origin of this name. The Dictionary also records Neilda, Neildes and Neildo, names with similar spellings. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,266 people named Neilde, with a median age of 55.
