Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived in the 3rd century.

Saint Valentine was ultimately executed for his actions, and his martyrdom is commemorated on February 14, the day celebrated as Valentine's Day.
There were several early Christian martyrs named Valentine, but the most well-known is Saint Valentine of Rome, who was executed around 269 AD.
