Bálintka is a feminine Hungarian diminutive form of Bálint, which is the Hungarian version of Valentine. The name derives from the Latin 'Valentinus,' meaning 'strong' or 'healthy.' The -ka suffix is a typical Hungarian endearment marker that adds affection and softness to the original name. Predominantly used in Hungary and Hungarian-speaking communities, Bálintka carries a sweet, affectionate quality while maintaining cultural connections.
