Valerie (given Name)
Valerie is generally a feminine given name, derived directly from the French ''Valérie'' (a female-only name).

Another, much rarer, French masculine form can be Valère. Both feminine and masculine forms have derivatives in many European languages and are especially common in Russian and other Eastern European languages. However, the masculine form is not always a cognate of the feminine: it can have a distinct etymology. Etymology Romance The name is generally of Romance origins. The Latin clan name, ''Valerius'', is masculine and denotes strength, health or boldness. ''Valeria'' is simply the feminine form of this.

Valerie (Zutons Song)
"Valerie" is a song by English indie rock band the Zutons from their second studio album, ''Tired of Hanging Around'' (2006). The song was later covered by Mark Ronson, with lead vocals provided by Amy Winehouse, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in 2007. Background In an interview with ''The Scotsman'' in May 2008, lead singer Dave McCabe described the writing process of the song: "I could tell you I was inspired by gazing out across the Mersey or walking past Macca's old house, but the truth is I got the idea in a cab on the way to my mum's. The whole song was written before I got there, so 20 minutes, max." The song's title and theme refer to an American friend of McCabe's who was in trouble for driving under the influence. The band's drummer, Sean Payne, called it a "musical postcard to her, saying he is having a hard time and can she come over and see him." In an interview with ''Vice'' magazine in June 2019, the subject of the song was revealed to be celebrity ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
