About the name Renildo
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) cites Renildo among the Brazilian names formed with Re-, an element perhaps taken from names such as Renato and Renata. The ending -nildo appears in the same Morfemário, which links it to Germanic hild, 'combat', as in Evanildo and Amarildo. The meaning of the name as a whole is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 11,812 people named Renildo, with a median age of 42; proportionally, the name is most common in Bahia. The name is almost always male and became much less frequent among people born from 2010 onward.
