Viviana

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Viviana: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2013.

Viviana is the Italian, Spanish, and Romanian form of Vivien or Vivian, names rooted in the Latin *Vivianus*, itself derived from *vivus* meaning "alive" or "lively." It thus carries a bright, life-affirming energy. One celebrated bearer is Viviana Durante, the Italian prima ballerina who shone with the Royal Ballet and later directed Scottish Ballet. Another is Colombian actress Viviana Serna, known for telenovelas like *La Reina del Flow*. While no major settlements bear the name directly, it shares its lively root with the modern French city of Vienne. A graceful alternative to the more common Vivian, Viviana has a romantic, international flair that appeals to parents seeking a name both classic and distinctly feminine.
