Full of life, lively, or energetic
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Vivana', it signifies someone who is full of life or lively. While it shares a phonetic similarity with the Latin-derived Vivian, it has distinct roots in Indian culture where it is traditionally a masculine name. In a modern Western context, it is often treated as a sleek, gender-neutral alternative to more common 'Viv' names.
