Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Vivienne je francúzska podoba ženského mena Viviana, odvodeného od latinského osobného mena Vivianus. Jeho základom je latinské prídavné meno vivus, ktoré znamená „živý“. Francúzština je jazykom sprostredkujúcim túto podobu, nie samostatným etymologickým pôvodom.
