What is the meaning of the name Vivica ?

The baby name Vivica is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced vih-VEE-kah.

Vivica is Germanic, Scandinavian in Origin.

Vivica is chiefly an English spelling of Swedish Viveca or Viveka, forms connected with Danish Vibeke and Low German Wiebke. The older recorded name is Wibeke/Wiebke, a northern German diminutive built with the suffix -ke from short forms of Germanic compound names beginning with wīg, “war” or “battle.” The “alive” interpretation reflects later visual association with Latin vivus and names such as Vivian, rather than the main Scandinavian-Germanic line.

Viveca became familiar in Sweden, while Vibeke has been especially Danish and Norwegian; Vivica is a less traditional spelling in English-speaking use. The name’s international recognition rests partly on American actress Vivica A. Fox, and it also appears in the stage name of mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux. In the United States it has remained outside the Top 1000, with occasional recorded use since the late twentieth century. Related spellings include Viveka, Viveca, Vibeke, Wiebke, and Wibeke.
