What is the meaning of the name Valentino ?

The baby name Valentino is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced Italian: /valenˈtiːno/; English: /ˌvælənˈtiːnoʊ/.

Valentino is Italian in Origin.

Valentino is the Italian and Spanish form of the Roman name Valentinus, from Latin valens/valent- “strong, healthy.” Its prominence grew in late antiquity via several Christian martyrs named Valentine - especially the 3rd‑century bishop of Terni and the Roman priest honored on 14 February - securing ecclesiastical prestige. Through the Middle Ages the name persisted across Europe, with the -ino ending especially favored in Italy.

International variants include Valentin (French, German, Slavic, Romanian), Valentín (Spanish), Valentine (English), Valentijn (Dutch), Valentim (Portuguese), and the feminine Valentina; common nicknames are Vale and Tino. Modern visibility owes much to designer Valentino Garavani and racer Valentino Rossi. Now popular in Italy, Spain, and Latin America and rising elsewhere, Valentino blends romantic associations with a core meaning of vigor and good health.
