‘Gal’ is an abbreviation for ‘girl’, which means girls in spanish and ‘Day’ is dayso as part of the pun, ‘Galentine’s Day’ is girls day.
This celebration was born in the famous series ‘Parks and Recreation’ (2010), and the idea was taken up by many women. So today it is celebrated by thousands of people across the United States.

This particular celebration was seen in the 16th episode of the second season of the famous comedy series, entitled precisely ‘Galentine’s Day’, in which the protagonist, Amy Poehler, who plays Leslie Knope, takes her friends to breakfast while He has several gifts prepared for them.
In the fourth season of the series, Leslie celebrates that date again and the idea that it should be considered as “a national celebration” appears. And although this has not been officially taken into account, there are many people who take February 13 seriously to share and celebrate together on ‘Galentine’s Day’.
It should not be left out that in many countries on February 14, it is not only the day of love, but also the day of friendship. So this date is taken into account by many women to celebrate female friendship between them.
In Spanish-speaking countries, this celebration does not have an equivalent in Spanish, but that has not prevented women from joining the North American trend and the date is especially used by the trade of countries such as Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
