About the name Valmiro
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Valmiro as Val- + -miro. According to the dictionary's Morfemário (morpheme list), Val- is perhaps an element detached from names such as Valdemar, and -mir/-miro has more than one possible origin (Germanic, 'renowned, illustrious'; Arabic, 'prince'; or Polish, 'peace'), so the meaning of Valmiro is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 2,499 people named Valmiro, with a median age of 56. Most were born in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
