It has been claimed that Valentine's Day was associated with the Roman festival of the Lupercalia. However, there is no evidence for this. Some popular literature links the Romantic connotations of Valentine's Day to this ancient fertility festival which took place from the 13th to the 15th of February. However, the romantic connotations started only after Chaucer's poem about the Valentines in the 14th century. February the 14th is dedicated to three Christian martyrs whose name is Valentine.

Why is Cupid associated with Valentine's Day?
Cupid (Greek: Eros) is associated with Valentines Day because he is the god of sexual love/desire. His parents were the god of war Mars (Greek: Ares) and the goddess of love Venus (Greek: Aphrodite). Because of his mother being goddess of love, and himself being the god of sexual desire, Cupid has become a big part of Valentines Day. The way he would get people to fall in love with each other was to shoot his special arrows at them.
What was Valentine's Day first called?
Answer 1 (Religious Viewpoint)Valentine's Day has always been called Valentine's Day, or St. Valentine's Day.______________________Answer 2 (Historical Fact)Before Christianity began hijacking Pagan festivals, renaming them and falsely claiming them as Christian celebrations, Valenties Day was actually called Lupercalia. It was a Pagan festival that celebrated love and fertility. it is not known exactly when the celebrations began, but we do know that they began somewhere in the BC timeline, way before Christianity even existed.Around 496 AD, due to the Roman Empire losing the battle against Paganism, they instead began hijacking and renaming Pagan festivals in an attempt to convert Pagans to Christianity, hence Lupercalia was renamed "Valentines Day".The most famous festival hijacked by the Roman Christians was Winter's Solstice, which they renamed Christ's Mass (Christmas).So, to answer your question, the original name for Valentines day is Lupercalia, celebrated by the Pagans, before being hijacked by Christianity in an attempt to force the Pagans and non-Christians to convert.
