Portuguese term or phrase: C.E.
This abbreviation appears in a list of participants from Angola, where they speak Portuguese (but the rest of the document is in French):

"Mme DA SILVA C.E. SILVA Albertina Wilson"

Based on my Google-based research, I believe her name is Ms. Albertina Wilson - Silva or da Silva is either her married name or her maiden name, I'm not sure which.

Could anyone help me out with the abbreviation "C.E." please?

Thanks!

Explanation:
Imho these are initials of two of her names.
Therefore I'd leave them as is.
PS some Portuguese have 6 and even more surnames
