About the name Sidneia
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil lists the name in the accented spelling Sidnéia, with the formation Sid- + -néia, and gives Sidneya, Sydneia and Cidneia as spelling variants. The project's morpheme list explains -néia as perhaps taken from given names such as Dulcinéia or as a feminine form linked to the formative Ney. For the masculine Sidnei, the same dictionary, citing Machado (1981), points to the English name Sidney. The origin of Sidneia as a whole is uncertain. It is an almost always female name, concentrated among people born in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 8,969 people named Sidneia, with a median age of 45. Proportionally, it is most common in Paraná.
