History & Origin
Valaria is an American variant of Valeria, the Latin feminine of Valerius from valere, 'to be strong or healthy.' The respelling keeps the sound while giving the eye something new. It appears in US records around the mid-twentieth century, always well behind the standard Valeria and Valerie.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1960. A girl named Valaria then is in her sixties today.
