Comments for the name Valeriya

I like this name, it's my friends name and it is very pretty.

Similar nordic name, my second name mostly used in Iceland, Valur has a double meaning. Valur means violent death, or weapondeath, stemming from the same root as Val-kyrie and Val-halla. Similar words that may stem from the same proto-Nordic root may be vald - power (in Icelandic) and vold force/violence (in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish) The Icelandic name for the gyrfalcon is valur as it is quite violent in it's hunt. It's a masculine name.
