Hi everyone!

My husband and I want to find the meanings of the following names:

Girl - Saraphina

Boy - Valery

I tried the iVillage Baby Name Finder but it didn't give me the meanings. Thanks so much for your help!

I looked on www.behindthename.com and found this...


no Saraphina, but I found Seraphina:

Seraphina, a 4-syllable girl's name of Hebrew/Latin origin, means: Burning ones; angels; ardent.

Valery, a 3-syllable boy's name of Germanic/French origin, means: One with foreign powers.

Valery's ethnic backgrounds include Russian.


I found this right here on the IVillage site under the category "find the meaning".

Thank you so much! We're doing an international adoption and wanted to know the meanings of the names of the children we're hoping to get!
