About the name Denílson
Denílson belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Denílson first appears in Social Security records in 1997. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #1707 in 1998, and in 2024 25 babies received the name — 713 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
