About the name Valdecir
Behind the Name describes Valdecir as a variant of Valdemir, with the ending influenced by that of Moacir, and Valdemir as a Portuguese variant of Valdemar. For the Germanic Waldemar, from which Valdemar comes, Behind the Name gives the elements walt, 'power, authority', and mari, 'famous'; the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil, citing Machado (1981), reads Valdemar as 'bold horse', from balths, 'bold', and mahra, 'horse'. Since the ending -cir comes from another name and the readings of Valdemar differ, the meaning of Valdecir is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 68,234 people named Valdecir, of whom 4,599 were women. Proportionally, the name is most common in Paraná.
