Mormon missionaries are known as "Elder [surname]" for the duration of their mission, for example, Elder Johnson. Perhaps some Portuguese-speaking parents have named their child "Elder" after a missionary, mistaking the title for the young man's first name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_(Latter_Day_Saints)
