About the name Osmarina
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes -ina as a diminutive suffix of Latin origin that, in Brazilian formations, is attached mostly to traditional names, as in Edvaldina and Raquelina. For Osmar, the same dictionary cites Machado (1981), who explains it through Germanic Os-, the name of a god in Germanic mythology, and -mar, 'famous'; Behind the Name, on the other hand, considers it probably a blend of names such as Óscar, Osvaldo, Omar and Ademar, or inspired by Old English Osmær. The meaning of Osmarina as a whole is not known for certain. It is an almost always female name; proportionally, it is most common in Pará. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 11,069 people named Osmarina, with a median age of 59.
