Meaning

"alive, lively", from Vivian

The story

Viviana is the Latin feminine of Vivian, from vivus, alive, so its meaning is lively, full of life, one of the sunniest a name can carry. It has an early Christian pedigree in Saint Bibiana, also called Viviana, a Roman martyr honored for centuries, and it flourished as a graceful Italian and Spanish classic. The name simply sounds like what it means, warm and vivacious, all open vowels and gentle rhythm. It shortens affectionately to Vivi or Ana. In the United States Viviana reads as current as it has ever been, cherished especially in Latino families and part of the wider love of romantic, vowel-rich names. Bright, elegant and alive by definition, Viviana hands a child a name that has meant full of life since Roman times, and sounds every bit of it.
