Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Valentina

Valentina is the Latinate feminine version of the name Valentinus, derived from “valens” meaning ‘healthy, strong.’ The most famous bearer of the name is St. Valentine whose feast day is, you guessed it, February 14th. In truth, not much is known about this 3rd century saint, but his cult grew extensively in the later Middle Ages as a martyr who was beheaded during the persecutions of Roman Emperor Claudius II for overseeing the marriage of Christian couples, and also for (gasp) having the audacity to attempt to convert the Emperor himself to Christianity. As the patron saint of love, young people and happy marriages, Valentine is most associated with romantic love. The female name Valentina currently ranks high in Italy, Spain, Catalonia and South America. It is also ranked among Slavic nations, in particular, Russia.

Expert comment

Kristina Duplinskaya, tarot reader:

Valentines love solitude and rarely share the details of their personal lives. Despite the secrecy and some distrust, they are responsive and always ready to lend a helping hand. Due to shyness and parental inattention, they often acquire a bunch of complexes.

Vali is responsible and always brings things to the end, at school they are most often excellent students, at work they are ready to help colleagues and take on additional tasks.

Valentines are vulnerable and touchy, they do not forgive easily and are unlikely to be able to trust someone who has ever failed to live up to expectations or betrayed in some way. The problem is that Vali is not well versed in people, they have weak intuition, and having burned themselves on someone else’s lies a couple of times, they build a wall around themselves so as not to be disappointed anymore.

Talismans for Valentine: stone — carnelian, plants — willow and forget-me-not, animal — dove.

The number 3 and the color orange bring good luck.

Happy day of the week — Thursday, season — winter.

Short form of the name Valentine. Valya, Valentine, Valyusha, Valyunia, Valyusya, Valyukha, Valechka, Vaka, Tina, Valle.
Synonyms for the name Valentine. Valendina, Valentine, Valentina, Valantina, Valyantyna, Alevtina.
Origin of the name Valentina. The name Valentine is Russian, Orthodox, Catholic.

The name Valentina in Latin means «strong», «healthy». This name is paired with the male name Valentine. There is a possibility that the name Alevtina is a variation of the name Valentine, which is common among Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians. The diminutive treatment of Tina is also an independent name.

Since childhood, kindness and indifference to someone else’s misfortune is noticeable in Valentina. She can give everything she has. But these additional inconveniences and difficulties will be taken for granted. She does not expect gratitude, she wants and likes to help people.

Most of all, Valentina is attracted to such areas of life where you need to help people. This includes medicine, pedagogy, and social work. Her softness and inability to get angry make her attractive in communication and many people use Valya as a vest in which to cry. But it’s very difficult for her to do this herself — she doesn’t watch her troubles as much as someone else’s grief. Valentina is quick-tempered, but quick-tempered. Having quarreled, she is immediately ready to put up.

For some Valentines, the disadvantage is her passion for gambling — cards, dominoes, lotteries. Sometimes she gets so excited that she just can’t stop. In this case, she just needs to be returned to «work» — to find an opportunity to help others, then she quickly forgets about her habits and attachments.

Valentina’s family life is always peaceful. She agrees not to defend her point of view, only in the family there was peace and tranquility. Valya loves her husband and children very much and is ready to devote herself to them. She likes to receive guests, and when she is a guest, she cannot rest in peace, she will definitely begin to help the hostess.

Yes, true, but there are some doubts. I like to help people, to listen like a vest, but I myself do not cry to others. I love guests, treat them. I like it when friends call Valyukha, but I really like Tina.
