3 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Valentine \Val"en*tine\, n. 1. A sweetheart chosen on St Valentine's Day 2. A letter containing professions of love, or a missive of a sentimental, comic, or burlesque character, sent on St Valentine's Day {St. Valentine's Day}, a day sacred to St Valentine; the 14th of February. It was a very old notion, alluded to by Shakespeare, that on this day birds begin to mate. Hence perhaps, arose the custom of sending love tokens at that time.
