History & Origin
Valin reads several ways: as a trim modern coinage echoing the Latin root valens, 'strong,' and as a spelling of Vali/Valin from the Ramayana. It also survives as a French surname. Used as an American given name, it appears in United States birth records only recently, and the routes are uncertain, which we note.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high in the mid two-thousands, so a Valin from that peak is in his late teens today. It reads as a short, modern-feeling name with an older thread available to those who want it.
