Valent

Valent is a Croatian masculine given name derived from the Latin adjective valens, meaning strong or healthy, itself from the verb valere, to be strong or well. It is the Croatian form of the widespread Latin name Valentinus, borne by several early Christian saints, most famously the third-century martyr whose feast day became associated with romantic love. The name belongs to a large family of cognates across European languages, including Valentín, Valentino, Walenty, and the feminine forms Valentina and Valente.
