About the name Silvane
The origin of Silvane is uncertain. The name ends in -ane, a formative that the Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) takes from the French -anne and records in names such as Juliane and Luciane; the same dictionary gives Silvana as the feminine of Silvano, from the Latin Silvanus, 'one who lives in the forest'. Silvane is used mostly as a female name, but the 2022 Census also records men with it, and the name had more records among people born in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 10,528 people named Silvane, with a median age of 43; proportionally, it is most common in Rio Grande do Sul.
