Vivien

Vivien is a female name, French origin meaning "Alive" or "Lively".

Vivien last appeared on the Social Security Administration's Top 1000 Baby Names in 1941--it peaked at number 515 for females in 1911.

Nicknames: Viv, Vivi

Sibling Names: Lilith, Edwin, Glenn, Eleanor, Ruby, Grace, Arthur

Variants: Vivienne, Vivian, Viviana

Vivien is a character from Arthurian Legend, also known as Lady of the Lake in some versions. English actress Vivien Leigh and American actress Vivien Cardone both bear the name, giving it the silver-cinema sparkle, and French painter Joseph Vivien casts an artistic gleam to it. It has been unused for long enough that Vivien can start making impressions all on its own soon.
