Etymology

**Valeureux** derives from the Old French *valeur* “value, worth,” which comes from Latin *valor* “worth, worthiness,” itself from *valere* “to be strong.” Adding the suffix *‑eux* formed an adjective originally meaning “worthy, valuable”; by the 16th century its sense shifted to “courageous, valiant.” The Latin root *valere* ultimately traces back to the Proto‑Indo‑European root *weh₁-* “to be strong, live.”
