Tips

culture
瓦伦派 most plausibly renders 'Valentinians' — the Gnostic Christian school founded by 瓦伦廷 (Valentinus, c. 100–160 CE), an Alexandrian theologian whose followers proposed a complex aeon-emanation cosmology that orthodox Church Fathers (Irenaeus, Tertullian) attacked at length. The 派 (-ist / -ian) suffix is the standard sect/school marker.
memory
瓦 wǎ ('Va-/Wa-') + 伦 lún ('-len-') + 派 pài ('-ian / school of'). 派 is the same suffix you see in 学派 (school of thought), 教派 (religious sect), 印象派 (Impressionists).
