The Portuguese who colonized Brazil in the sixteenth century were already the professional slave-dealers of Europe, and their settlements along the coast soon became a rendezvous for a lawless class of slavers, pirates, and other desperadoes.
Intermarrying with the women of the wild tribes, they produced the mixed breed of Mamelucos, which combined the courage and persistence of the white race, and the woodcraft and linguistic faculty of the Indian, with a cruelty untempered by any restraining influence whatever.

However, Portuguese speaking Brazil has both "mestiços"  and  "mamelucos" with the latter word appearing to be more common.
The term was used by Portuguese settlers in Brazil as early as the 16th century to refer to the newly formed Brazilians with Portuguese fathers and Indian mothers.
