1150 A.D., medieval Castile, Spain; the king of Leon (his name escapes me at the moment) gave a certain place on what is now the Turia river the colorful name of Valencia de Campos. This moniker devolved to Valenzuela, meaning little Valencia, then to Valentin, denoting a person who once lived, held land, or was born in that visually-striking area.
