Vallarie

Vallarie is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Valerie, which derives from the Latin 'Valerius,' meaning 'to be strong' or 'healthy.' This alternate spelling emerged primarily in the mid-20th century as parents sought distinctive variations on classical names. While maintaining the melodic quality and meaning of Valerie, Vallarie creates a slightly more elaborate and uncommon version. The double 'l' adds a visual distinctiveness that appeals to parents seeking uniqueness without straying too far from tradition. Though never achieving the popularity of Valerie, which peaked in the 1950s and 1960s, Vallarie has continued as a rare alternative that combines familiar sounds with distinctive spelling.

Pronounced VAL-uh-ree.

As of October 2026, Vallarie ranked #18290 in US births in 2003 SSA, peaked at #3910 in 1960.
