Meaning & Origin
US standard spelling of valour.
Valor is a boy's and girl's baby name of Latin origin, from the Latin valor meaning 'strength' or 'courage,' connected to the Latin valere (to be strong). As a virtue name, it carries the aspiration of bravery and moral courage — not just physical strength, but the courage to do what's right.
Valor joins the growing family of virtue-and-word names like Brave, Justice, and True. It has a certain chivalric weight that gives it more gravitas than most one-word names. A name that sets high expectations and sounds magnificent doing it.
