Balynt is a modern or archaizing variant of Hungarian Bálint, the local form of Latin Valentinus.

The spelling with y mirrors older Hungarian orthography and contemporary stylistic respellings used outside Hungary where diacritics are often dropped.

Bálint has been used in the Carpathian Basin since the Middle Ages, fostered by the cult of Saint Valentine; Hungary marks Bálint-nap on February 14. A notable bearer is the Renaissance poet Bálint Balassi (1554–1594). Usage of Balynt remains rare, appearing in diaspora communities and creative naming. Related forms include Bálint and Balint (Hungarian), Valentin and Valentine (international), and Balint as a surname in Central Europe. Feminine counterparts are Valentina and other Valentina-derived forms.
