The story behind the name
Meet Valentina.
Valentina is a feminine form in the Latin Valentinus family, associated with strength and health. Its connection with Valentine also gives it an association with love, although love is not its literal meaning.
Val and Tina are possible shorter forms. The four-syllable full name offers a more elaborate rhythm, which parents may want to try aloud alongside their surname before choosing an everyday form.
