What is the meaning of the name Valeri ?

The baby name Valeri is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced vuh-LEH-ree.

Valeri is Bulgarian, Georgian, Latin, Russian in Origin.

Valeri is a Bulgarian and Georgian form of Latin Valerius, also reflecting Russian Валерий in simplified transliteration. The Roman nomen Valerius is the earliest secure form, attached to the patrician gens Valeria and built on Latin valēre, to be strong or be well. Its suffix -ius marks a Roman family-name formation, so the literal sense is nearer healthy, vigorous than the later abstract valor.

Modern use centers on Eastern Europe and the Caucasus: Bulgarian writes Валери, Georgian ვალერი, and Russian Валерий is often romanized Valeriy or Valery. Bulgaria marks a name day on June 7. Cognates include Italian Valerio, French Valère, Polish Walery, Romanian Valeriu, Latvian Valērijs, and Spanish Valero. Soviet-era bearers such as cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov and hockey player Valeri Kharlamov gave the Russian form twentieth-century visibility. In the United States, Valeri also occurs as a feminine spelling of Valerie.
