Edilene is a feminine given name primarily used in Portuguese-speaking countries, particularly Brazil. Its etymology is uncertain, but it is likely a variant of Adelina or a feminine elaboration of the masculine name Edílson.The name Adelina itself derives from a Germanic name incorporating the element adal meaning 'noble' (from Proto-Germanic *aþalaz). Edilene, therefore, may carry connotations of nobility. Alternatively, its connection to Edílson, a common Brazilian name, suggests a modern coinage pattern in Portuguese naming conventions, where feminine forms are created by adding suffixes like '-ene' or '-ina' to masculine bases.While Edilene does not appear historically in genealogies or notable medieval records, it gained popularity in Brazil during the 20th century, alongside other names ending in '-ene' such as Marilene and Nilene. It remains in use today, particularly among Brazilian communities.
