Viveca

Hello and welcome. We have a lovely classic hat for you this Monday. The Viveca hat. It is very snazzy and at the same time elegant — with a little touch of “the wild”.

The name

Hattingdon creator Vivian chose the name Viveca (also spelled Viveka) for this simply because she likes the sound of it. The name has an interesting background. Here is a bit of it.

It’s a Vivi name, just like all of the forms of Vivian.
 
• Viveka hits the sweet spot, right between feminine and frilly.
• While the name is rare, it is real rather than invented.
• With roots in Swedish and Sanskrit, it’s undeniably a culture-spanning choice.


The name Viveca is a girl’s name of Scandinavian origin meaning “alive, life; place of refuge”, Nameberry.com tells us.

The renowned Swedish actress named Viveca Lindfors was a notable bearer of this name. Famous people named Viveca include Viveca Lindfors, a Finnish figure skater and Viveca Sten, a Swedish novelist. Viveca was also a character’s name in the movie ‘Barbie And The Three Musketeers’.
