Nalvinha

Nalvinha is a Portuguese given name, typically feminine. It is a diminutive form of the name "Nalva." Diminutives in Portuguese are commonly used as terms of endearment or informal versions of a given name. Nalva itself is a less common name, the origins and etymology of which are somewhat debated, lacking definitive historical or linguistic consensus. Nalvinha, therefore, carries with it the same uncertainty in origin. As a diminutive, Nalvinha generally implies affection or familiarity. The name is most commonly found in Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly Brazil and Portugal. Its usage frequency is considered relatively low compared to more common Portuguese names.
