The surname Valentine has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. The name can have origins in both Gaelic and Norman traditions. In Gaelic, the name is derived from the personal name "Valentin," which itself comes from the Latin name "Valentinus," meaning "strong" or "vigorous." The name was introduced to Ireland by the Normans during the 12th century, following the Norman invasion of England and subsequent expansion into Ireland.

The Norman influence on the surname can be seen in the variation "de Valentia," which means "from Valence" in Norman French. Valence was a region in France, and some families with the Valentine surname can trace their ancestry back to this area.

Over time, the name Valentine became more anglicized in Ireland, particularly during the period of English rule. Many Irish families anglicized their surnames to fit into English society, resulting in variations such as Vallantine, Vallentine, and Valantine.

As with many surnames, the Valentine name has multiple origins and variations, making it difficult to trace a single, definitive history. However, the name's Gaelic and Norman roots, along with its anglicization in Ireland, offer valuable insights into its Irish heritage.
