Valiant
Meaning of Valiant
Valiant is a masculine given name with roots in the Old French vaillant and the Latin valēre, meaning “strong” or “worthy.” Historically associated with chivalric knights and literary heroes—from medieval romances to Shakespearean drama—it conveys a quiet assurance of courage and moral strength. In contemporary Anglo-American usage, Valiant remains a rare but deliberate choice; its scarcity makes it unlikely to appear more than once on a classroom roster, appealing to parents who seek a distinctive, virtue-based name that stands apart without ostentation.
