Vivianne
Just two dozen women in Poland carry it, so most people here have never met one. The root is Latin, from a word for "living, alive".
Vivianne Pronunciation
What Vivianne means
Where Vivianne comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Vivianne comes from Latin vivus, meaning living or alive. Roman families carried the name Vivianus, and that root fixed the sense of life to each later form. The same root feeds vivere, to live, and vivace, the musical mark for a lively pace.
The French shaping is what most people hear in it. Saint Viviana, a Roman martyr remembered on 2 December, passed into French as Viviane. French romance later gave the name to Viviane, the lake enchantress who raises Lancelot in the Arthurian stories, and the French finish is what the doubled spelling of Vivianne keeps.
On a Polish class register it draws a second look. It stands apart. The doubled n and the soft ending mark it as an import, while its Latin root still says what it always said: alive.
