Vivaan

Vivaan is a name used in India and commonly explained as “full of life.” That familiar interpretation expresses the way the name is understood in contemporary naming, rather than establishing that it is the same name as Vivian. The resemblance between the two Latin-letter spellings can be misleading to an English reader.

The double a in Vivaan helps indicate the longer vowel in the final syllable. Keeping that spelling visible can be useful when introducing the name in English, where people may otherwise substitute the more familiar Vivian. Vivaan is a complete given name in its own right, and it does not need to be expanded into a longer Western name to be used formally.
