Lima is of [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]], [[Native Brazilian]], [[Africans|African]], [[Japanese people|Japanese]], [[Swiss people|Swiss]], and [[West Indian]] descent.<!-- Do NOT remove explanatory note specifying the "Indian" ancestry confusion. -->{{efn|group=note|English translated sources and Lima herself states she has "Indian" ancestry. The ambiguous meaning of the word "Indian" in English, which can refer to either the indigenous peoples of the Americas or people native to the country of India, has led some to misinterpret her Amerindian ancestry, claiming that Lima's "Indian" background refers to the country of India. However, in English slang, "Indian" is meant to refer to indigenous peoples of the Americas. In Portuguese, such ambiguity is nonexistent, since there are two words to convey the different meanings: ''[[wikt:índio|índio]]'' for an [[Native Americans in the United States|American Indian]] (or [[Amerindian]], including Native Brazilians); and ''[[wikt:indiano#Portuguese|indiano]]'' for people and things related to India.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2 June 2022 |title=Entenda por que o termo correto é "Dia dos Povos Indígenas" e não "Dia do Índio" |url=https://cultura.uol.com.br/noticias/49509_entenda-porque-o-termo-correto-e-dia-dos-povos-indigenas-e-nao-dia-do-indio.html |website=[[TV Cultura]] |language=pt-br}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=9 August 2022 |title=Indígenas ou nativos?
