Valter is Germanic, Old High German in Origin.
Valter is a V-spelled form of Walter, ultimately from the Old High German personal name Walthari, also recorded with the spelling Waldhari. Its two Germanic elements are walt-, linked with waltan, to rule or command, and hari/heri, army. The literal sense is therefore army ruler or commander of the army, a compound typical of early medieval Germanic dithematic names.
The Walter family of names spread through Latin Christendom after Germanic-speaking elites settled across western and central Europe. Valter is especially familiar in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Portugal, and Italy, where v reflects local spelling and pronunciation habits; Italian also has Gualtiero and Portuguese Gualter. Modern bearers include Swedish actor Valter Skarsgård, Slovenian footballer Valter Birsa, and Estonian writer Edgar Valter, illustrating its northern, Slavic, and Romance-language range.
| Valter Skarsgård Valter Skarsgård is a Swedish actor best known for his roles in Lords of Chaos, Katla, and Black Lake. He comes from the famous Skarsgård acting family, including his father Stellan and brothers Alexander, Gustaf, and Bill. |
