Ivonaldo

Ivonaldo is a male given name, primarily used in Portuguese-speaking countries, notably Brazil. It is considered a relatively uncommon name.

Origin and Meaning:

The precise origin and meaning of Ivonaldo are not definitively established. It's likely a modern creation, possibly a combination or variant of existing names. The "Ivo" portion suggests a connection to Germanic names like Ivo, meaning "yew wood" or "archer." The "naldo" suffix may be a derivation of names like Ronaldo, which itself is from Germanic roots meaning "wise ruler." Therefore, Ivonaldo could be interpreted as a compound name that blends elements of strength, leadership, and a connection to nature.

Usage:

Ivonaldo is mainly used as a first name. Its prevalence is significantly higher in Brazil than in other regions. It is not commonly used as a surname. Individuals bearing this name are often simply referred to as Ivonaldo or, in more formal settings, by their full name including the surname.
