History & Origin

Valleri is a variant of Valerie, rooted in the Latin valere, to be strong or well, by way of the Roman name Valerius. Its unusual double-l spelling was popularized by the Monkees single Valleri, a hit in nineteen sixty-eight, which lines up neatly with the name's brief peak. Beyond that moment it stayed a rare spelling next to the common Valerie.

Valleri was uncommon, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-sixties, and it soon receded. A girl named Valleri then would be in her late fifties today.

Did you know? Valleri owes its spelling to the Monkees song of that title, a nineteen sixty-eight hit whose exact spelling nudged a few families toward the double-l form.
