The background of National Valerie Day

Valerie derives directly from the female-only French name Valerie. The origin of the name is essentially Romanesque. The clan’s masculine Latin name, ‘Valerius,’ means’strength,’ ‘health,’ or ‘courage.’ In some regions of Europe, including France and Russia, Valeriy is the equivalent male name, and it is also a prevalent surname in French-speaking countries. Valre is a much less common French form of the masculine name. In many European languages, both feminine and masculine forms of the name are derived, with Russian and other Eastern European languages being particularly common in this regard.

In Catholic Europe, these names have always been associated with saints, with the prominence of the name frequently reflecting the significance of the saint’s cult. During the Middle Ages and more recently, this name was associated with a number of venerated saints. St. Valerie of Limoges most likely had the greatest impact on the name’s dissemination. Her religion was practised along the way of Saint James.

In the 1800s, Valerie was not a prevalent name. Later, beginning in the 1930s, its prevalence began to rise, and in 1959 it ranked 60th among the top 1,000 male names in the United States. There has been a gradual decline in the use of the name over time. In 2020, the name jumped to 145th position in the United States and 40th place in Austria.

Valerie Bertinelli of the United States and Valerie Sayers of the United States are two notable individuals with the name Valerie.
