Brazil names its children from many places at once: Portuguese classics, the German, Italian and Japanese communities concentrated in the south and in São Paulo, and the English names Brazil made its own. The collections below carry those traditions; the 2022 census, which counts people of every age, shows which names are in use across the country today.
