Origin
Meaning and history of Valerieann
The name Valerieann is a feminine given name with roots in the ancient Roman culture and language. It is derived from the Latin word "valere," which means "to be strong" or "to be well." The name was first recorded in the 1st century AD, during the height of the Roman Empire.
One of the earliest known historical references to the name can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus. He mentions a woman named Valeria, who lived in the 1st century AD and was known for her courage and resilience during the reign of the Emperor Nero.
In the 4th century AD, the name gained popularity among early Christians. Saint Valeria, a Christian martyr from the city of Caesarea, was celebrated for her unwavering faith and sacrifice. Her name was often used as a symbol of strength and devotion.
During the Middle Ages, the name Valerieann was widespread throughout Europe, particularly in France and England. One notable bearer of the name was Valerie of Vienne, a French noblewoman who lived in the 12th century and was known for her philanthropic work and patronage of the arts.
In the 16th century, the name Valerieann gained prominence in Italy, where it was often associated with the Renaissance humanist movement. Valeria Piccolomini, an Italian aristocrat and writer, was a notable figure of this era, renowned for her poetry and intellectual pursuits.

FAQ
Valerieann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Valerieann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 22 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Valerieann going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 15,579,743 US residents.
Is Valerieann a common name?
We classify Valerieann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 41.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 23 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Valerieann most popular?
The single biggest year for Valerieann was 1983, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Valerieann is about 40 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Valerieann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Valerieann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Valerieann in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Valerieann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Valerieann in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Valerieann can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
