Vivien
Vivien ♀, formerly ♂ Earlier generally taken as a variant of the boy's name
Vivian, but now also rarely used for boys. This spelling was quite common in Old French. Its use as a girl's name in the English-speaking world was influenced by Tennyson'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’, pronounced ‘bee-
veen’). The actress Vivien Leigh (1913–67) was christened
Vivian.
Short forms:
Viv;
Vi,
Vivi ♀.
