About the name Vivaan

Vivaan spent the 2010s trading the top spot on Indian baby-name lists with Aarav, a pair of soft-consonant dawn names that defined the decade. It manages to sound both Sanskrit and internationally frictionless, which is exactly the brief most urban Indian parents are working to.

Vivaan is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced vi-VAHN. On the NameRarity scale it scores 66 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 2010s.
