Valeria, originating from Latin roots, translates to "strong" or "healthy". This name was popular amongst the Romans and continues to be widely used today, particularly in Spanish-speaking countries and beyond. It consists of five letters, with a soft and elegant sound when spoken aloud. Valeria has been borne by several notable figures throughout history, such as Valeria Messalina, a Roman Empress during the 1st century AD, contributing to its enduring appeal.
The name Valeria saw a peak in popularity around the mid-1990s with a notable spike in 1993 (10 births), before settling into a consistent trend of around 5-6 births per year from 1994 onwards, with a few exceptions like the 7 births in 2012.
