Valerian is the name of the *female* love interest of the hero Galen in the 1980s movie "Dragonslayer," who for a long time dressed as a male. It's possible that she was born Valeria, but since her father wanted to protect her/prevent her from being sacrificed to the dragon, he changed her name to Valerian so she could pass herself off as a boy.
