Meaning & History

From the surname of Jean-Marie Vianney (1786-1859), a French saint. His surname was allegedly derived from the given name Vivien 1 (see Vianney). While it is considered (mostly) masculine in France, Belgium and Francophone Africa, usage in Latin America (excluding Brazil) and Hispanic communities in the United States is primarily feminine.

Use of the name in Mexico (where its variant Vianey is the more popular spelling) might be influenced by the home decor retail company Vianney.
