""Jucão", meaning "Big Juca" in Portuguese. The name started through their cousin (and coach) Cirillo Azevedo who named Ailson's younger brother Admilson after a cartoon character named "Juca Bala" (in English named Motormouse after the Hanna & Barbera show: Motormouse and Autocat). Admilson Brites was very small and fast, usually ending his matches quickly, so Cirillo nicknamed him after the speedy mouse. As Ailson was the older and the bigger of the two brothers, he soon became nicknamed Jucão."
