Salma Hayek had a big impact on the popularity of the girl’s name Valentina when she named her daughter that on September 21, 2007. Lucky Valentina’s father is French billionaire François-Henri Pinault. About a year and a half after her birth, the baby’s parents finally tied the knot on, you guessed it, Valentine’s Day 2009. Since Valentina was born, the name has greatly improved in usage, although primarily among Hispanic-Americans. It’s a lovely name that means “healthy and strong†but it’s also forever associated with the notions of romantic love.
