Casemiro: The strange case of Casimiro’s name still wrongly spelt to this day

However, you will be surprised to know that Casemiro’s name is still wrongly spelt to this day. The correct spelling is “Casimiro”, but he himself now uses “Casemiro”. Let’s find out the reason behind this spelling mistake.

Casemiro explained during an interview on Football Focus: “So the thing is, my name is Carlos Henrique Casimiro, with an ‘I’ there.”

“I remember that I played a game for Sao Paulo and the club got my name wrong. They wrote it with an ‘E’. I played really well in that game and as I’m a superstitious person. I said to them, ‘Just leave it like that, as things are going well!’”

“So the name stuck, but my name is Carlos Henrique Casimiro. It was a mistake made in one game. The name stuck and I said, ‘No need to change it, leave it as it is’.”
