Vianne

Meaning of Vianne

Vianne is a French-influenced feminine name that ultimately traces back to the Latin word vivus, meaning “alive” or “lively.” As a variant of Vivienne, it carries an understated elegance and a subtle sense of vitality, qualities that were brought to life again by the independent chocolatier heroine in Joanne Harris’s novel Chocolat. In the United States, Vianne has maintained a modest presence on the top-1,000 chart since the mid-20th century, typically ranking between the 900s and 950s in recent years—a trend that underscores its quiet but persistent appeal. With its crisp vee-AHN pronunciation and rare usage, Vianne offers a distinctive yet accessible choice for parents seeking a name that feels both fresh and familiar.
