Meaning & origin
(measured from records), formerly 3 Originally a boy’s name, generally taken as a variant of ) Vivian. This spelling was quite common in Old French. It owes its popularity as a girl’s name in the English-speaking world to Tenny- son’s Merlin and Vivien (1859). This name, from Arthurian legend, may represent an altered form of a Celtic name (perhaps akin to the Irish Gaelic name Béibhinn ‘white lady’, pro- nounced ‘bee-veen’). The actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67) was christened Vivian. Short forms: Vi, Viv, Vivi.

About this data

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
