Valius

Cf. Valà, Valis, Valỹs (see). Most likely abbreviations from some longer personal name - mostly, it seems, from Vãlento, Valenti̇̀no, cf. polish Wala, Walis: Walenty ¹. But a possible descent from Valèrius; in addition, sometimes there may be, although it is more difficult to imagine, short genders from the old compounds pers.n. - Válmantas (see) or similar. ².
