What Does the Name Vision Mean?
Vision is an English word name meaning "sight" or "the act of seeing." Its source is the Latin noun visio (genitive visionis), meaning "a seeing, sight, or appearance," formed from the verb videre, "to see." The literal sense is the faculty or act of sight; by extension the same word denotes something seen, especially a mental image, a plan for the future, or a supernatural apparition. As a given name it draws on the ordinary English word rather than on an inherited personal-name root.
Vision Name History & Origins
The word came into English from Old French vision, which descended from Latin visio. In Middle English it was used for sight and for apparitions or revelations, senses that survive in the modern word. Its use as a personal name is uncommon and belongs to the English practice of turning ordinary nouns into given names. Because the name is a word rather than a traditional inherited name, its associations come from the meanings of "vision" itself - sight, foresight, and apparitions - rather than from an ancient name-day or dynastic tradition.
