About the name Valdineia
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists the name in the accented spelling Valdinéia, with the formation Valdi- + -néia. The project's morpheme list cites Valdinéia among the Brazilian names with -néia, an element perhaps taken from given names such as Dulcinéia or perhaps a feminine form linked to the formative Ney. For the initial element, treated in the morpheme list under Valdo-/Vald-, more than one etymon has been proposed, among them balths, 'bold', and walt, 'powerful', and so the meaning of the name as a whole is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 20,852 people named Valdineia, with a median age of 42. The name is almost always female and, proportionally, most common in Rondônia.
