If you're searching for a Pacific Islander name to honor baby's heritage, consider Valu. This short but sweet Samoan gender-neutral name has the curious meaning of "eight," allowing your little one to write a story as perfect as their ten tiny toes. Eight baby best friends? Eight bedtime stories? Perhaps eight long, beautiful hours of beddy-bye time! Valu also has several Sanskrit translations, including “stallion,” “sword,” and “sand.” Even when life seems to move at a galloping pace, you can still take a moment to count all the reasons you adore precious Valu.
