[Surname] Valjean
I know that this is French, it's from Les Miserables. Victor Hugo had a habit of making up names, but any ideas what it could mean?We're all in the gutter, but some of us look at the stars.
~Oscar Wilde.

Val means 'vale, valley' and Jean is 'John'. There are many placenames in France that have this kind of structure but Valjean itself is a fictitious name.
