Valeri is a Slavic boy’s name meaning “to be strong.” Derived from the Latin Valerius, this can be traced back to a prominent family name in ancient Rome, the gens Valeria. History will tell that a number of privileges were granted to this family, and several emperors even claimed descent from this branch. Nevertheless, they were not regarded as snobbish because they routinely advocated and sponsored for many causes and rights of the lower class.
