Valen

Valen is a modern-sounding name with deep roots in the Latin tradition. It's often considered a shortened version of Valentine or Valerian, both of which carry the meaning of 'strong' and 'healthy'.

Its similarity to more common names like Alan or Galen gives it an approachable feel, while still retaining a sense of individuality.
