Surname
Uberlândia was originally called Uberabinha, but the name became increasingly inappropriate for a rapidly growing city that had become a regional center because it included the diminutive suffix "-inha". Therefore, in 1922 the name was changed to Uberlândia by adding the word “country” in its Portuguese-adapted form.
Local politics
From 2005 to 2012 Odelmo Leão (Odelmo Leão Carneiro Sobrinho) of the Partido Progressista (PP) was city prefect , who was previously and in the meantime also a federal member of the National Congress . In the local elections in 2016 , he was re-elected mayor in his current and third term from 2017 to 2020.
