Valley Origin and Meaning

The name Valley is a girl's name of English origin meaning "low area of land between hills and mountains".

An evocative word name, conjuring up images of the beautiful low land between hills and mountains, and the streams and rivers that often run through them, Valley has the advantage of also sounding totally name-y. Reminiscent of Ally, Valerie, Valentina, Tally, and Callie, it is a rising choice in the US, more than doubling in popularity in recent years.

It was given a huge boost after Kailyn Lowry (of Teen Mom fame) used it for her daughter in 2023, a twin sister to brother Verse, who both joined older sibs Isaac, Lincoln, Lux, Creed and Rio. The following year, it was given to 142 girls (and seven boys) compared to 69 girls the year prior. Additionally, to put its rise in perspective, just five years earlier it was given to less than 20 babies.
