What does the name Vivianne mean?
Vivianne is a spelling of Vivian, pronounced the same way, so it shares Vivian's meaning and origin.
Vivian comes from the Latin name Vivianus, with the feminine Viviana, which DMNES and Wiktionary derive from vivus, 'alive'. Wikipedia notes that it survived into modern use because it was borne by early Christian saints, both men and women. In medieval England Vivian was mainly a man's name; today it is used almost entirely for girls, alongside the French spellings Vivien and Vivienne.

How sure is this? Probable. Wiktionary marks the vivus derivation as 'probably'; DMNES gives it without qualification.
