About Lierka
Lierka, a Romani variation of Ljerka, traces its roots back to the Latin "vălēre > vălĕrĭus." This, in turn, originates from the Italic (Sabine) "volesus / volusus," which carries the profound meaning of "to be strong, be healthy, strong, vigorous and brave."
Throughout history, this name has been associated with notable figures such as the three holy women martyrs—Kyriake, Kaleria (Valeria), and Mary—who lived in Palestinian Caesarea during the 3rd-century persecution under Diocletian. Their unwavering faith and prayers are said to have played a role in the eventual end of Christian persecution and the spread of Christ's Faith.
Another notable figure bearing this name is Valerian, known as Valerian the Elder, who served as Roman Emperor from 253 to 259. However, his reign was marked by his ill-fated capture during the Battle of Edessa, making him the only Roman Emperor ever taken as a prisoner of war, a fact that left a lasting impact on the stability of the Empire.
