Vivianne is a French feminine form of Vivien, itself derived from the Latin name Vivianus, from vivus 'alive'. The name was borne by a 5th-century French saint, Saint Vivianus. In medieval England, the spelling Vivian was used for both sexes, but Vivienne and Vivianne have become distinctly feminine. The name saw a revival in the early 20th century and has maintained steady use.
