History & Origin
Deolinda reached American records chiefly through Portuguese-speaking families, with a quiet high around 1923. Its meaning, beautiful to God, comes from the Latin Deus and linda, and it has long standing in Portugal and Brazil even as its United States numbers stayed slight.
It was never common in the United States, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and reads as a heritage name. A girl named Deolinda then would be past a hundred today. The name keeps a devout, melodic Portuguese character.
