"The error was apparently never fully corrected earlier in his career, leading to a longtime misrepresentation that only now is being discussed openly. Casemiro shares that his name is actually Casimiro The midfielder disclosed that his actual name is Casimiro, and not Casemiro and that a printing error during his days at Sao Paulo changed his name for the rest of his career."
"For everyone, I will always be Casemiro It's all Sao Paulo's fault. It all started when I played one of my first matches for Sao Paulo, the club where I went through the ranks, from the youth team to the first team [from 2002 to 2013]. They accidentally wrote my name with an e' on the shirt. I played very well."
Casimiro's legal name is Casimiro, though his name has appeared as Casemiro across matchday programmes, registration documents, and club materials. A printing error during an early São Paulo match added an 'e' to his name on the shirt, and strong performance in that match led to keeping the misspelling. The incorrect spelling was never fully corrected and persisted through his career at São Paulo, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. Superstition influenced the decision to maintain the name on his shirt, and the misspelling has become a long-running identifier in official listings.
