valeriya is Latin in Origin.

Valeriya is the East Slavic feminine form of Valeria, ultimately from the Roman family name Valerius, derived from Latin valere “to be strong, healthy.” The name entered Christian use through early martyrs such as Saint Valeria and circulated across medieval Europe via the prestigious gens Valeria. In Russian, Ukrainian, and other Cyrillic-using traditions it is spelled Валерия and commonly transliterated Valeriya, though Valeriya and Valeriia also appear. The name has remained steady in Eastern Europe, with a noticeable upswing in the post-Soviet decades.

International variants include Valeria (Italian, Spanish, Romanian, English), Valérie (French), Valéria (Portuguese, Hungarian, Slovak), Valérie/Valerie (Czech), Waleria (Polish), and Valerija (Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Latvian, Lithuanian). Related masculine forms are Valeriy/Valery (Slavic) and Valerius. Russian diminutives include Lera, Lerika, and Lerusya, with Valya occasionally used. The core meaning centers on strength, vigor, and good health, lending Valeriya an elegant yet resilient character.
