Valentine’s history, gender and overall essence
Valentine, originating from the Latin 'valens' meaning strength, has a long history as a Roman family name and through association with Saint Valentine. While traditionally masculine, it’s increasingly popular as a girl’s name in the US, gaining traction since the late 20th century. Globally, it’s found in French-speaking regions and parts of Eastern Europe, though less frequently. The name evokes a romantic and vintage feel, suggesting a gentle yet resilient personality. It’s a relatively uncommon but steadily rising choice, offering a unique and memorable option. Valentine’s modern perception is largely feminine, despite its historical masculine roots.
