History & Origin

Vivie is a pet form of Vivian, Vivienne and Viviana, all descending from Latin Vivianus, from vivus, 'alive; living'. It appears in literature as Vivie Warren in George Bernard Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession (1893), and it now surfaces on U.S. lists as part of the wider fashion for nicknames used in their own right (said 'VIV-ee').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, bright, and affectionate.

Did you know? Vivie is Vivian in miniature — and behind both stands the Latin word vivus, 'alive'. George Bernard Shaw gave the name to Vivie Warren, the sharp-minded heroine of his play Mrs Warren's Profession.
