War-like, battle, or voice
Viveka has dual roots, primarily as a Scandinavian form of the Germanic name Wigburg, meaning 'war' or 'battle'. In a separate Sanskrit context, it refers to 'discernment' or 'wisdom', though the girl's name used in the West is most often the Swedish diminutive of Vivienne or a variant of Frederica.
