History & Origin
Edelmira joins the Germanic adal, noble, to mar, famous, giving a meaning of noble and renowned. It settled into Spanish as the feminine of Edelmiro, part of the broad set of Adal- names that Germanic peoples left across Iberia. American use came mainly through Mexican and other Latino families.
Edelmira was never common in the United States, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its faint peak in the mid nineteen-seventies, with a long thin presence across the century. A woman named Edelmira from that peak would be around fifty today.
