Valetudo is the roman name for the greek goddess Hygieia, which is the goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene.

Tangentially, "valetudo" is just "health" (which may contextually connote _good_ or _bad_ health): https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1...

We get "valetudinarian" from this word, one who worries (excessively) about one's health.

Ah, you got me. I didn't consider that other alternative meaning.

And you just stated to know where the name came from, even though you made it up instead of looking it up.

As said in the comment you replied to, it was a good faith mistake on my part, due to not knowing the alternate meanings of the word.
