Edilene is Portuguese in Origin.

Edilene is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine name, most common in mid-to-late 20th‑century Brazil and rare elsewhere in the Lusophone world. It likely arose as a modern blend: the element Edi– (familiar from Portuguese forms of Edith and from the noun edil, “alderman,” via Latin aedilis) joined to –lene, a suffix popularized by names like Marlene and Helene. Because of this layered formation, meanings are interpretive rather than singular - associations range from Edith’s “prosperous in war,” to Helene’s “torch; light,” to the civic sense of aedilis - yet in practice Edilene functions as a contemporary Brazilian coinage with a graceful, melodic profile.

Variants and related spellings include Edilena, Edileni, Edileine, and Edilayne; common diminutives are Edi and Lene. Usage peaked among women born between the 1950s and 1980s, aligning with broader Brazilian trends favoring –lene/–lene‑ending names.
