What Does the Name Vianny Mean?
Vianny is a spelling of the name Vianney (also written Vianey), a French family name that later came into use as a given name. The surname's etymology is not securely established: it is not a common word in French, and no single derivation is generally accepted. As a result, Vianny has no agreed literal meaning, and any specific translation offered for it should be treated with caution.
Vianny Name History & Origins
The name is most widely known through Saint John Vianney (1786 - 1859), born Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, the parish priest of Ars, near Lyon, France, who was canonized in 1925 and is commonly called the Curé d'Ars. His surname, Vianney, was an existing French family name, and it is chiefly through him that the word is familiar outside France. Among Catholics, the given name is associated with him.
In French use, Vianney is generally a masculine given name. In Spanish-speaking countries, the forms Vianey, Vianney, and Vianny are used, frequently for girls. The final -y in Vianny is a common spelling adaptation in English and Spanish rather than evidence of a separate origin.
