It seems like a modern place-name, but the name actually has been in use since at least the 15th-century. There are records of Viennas and Vienas in late Medieval/early Renaissance Italy Most sources believe that in these cases, the names are in fact related to the place.
The city of Vienna in Austria is known as Wien in German. Its etymology is debated. Most agree it might come from the ancient Celtic Vindobona, which would be composed of “vindo” (white) and bona (fort; camp). Others have linked it with a Germanic source, Vedunia, Old High German Wenia (forest stream).
As a given name, it perhaps was originally given in reference to the place, but it may also be a contraction of Viviana or Vivienne. Its French form of Vienne has been in occasional use since Medieval times. Vienne was also the name of the protagonist in the 1999 novel Chocolat by Joanne Harris.
The name enjoyed some popularity in the English-speaking world starting in the 18th-century.
The name was borne by the mother of the Catholic Saint, St. Francis of Paola (1416-1507).
Vienna first appeared in the U.S. Top 1000 Female Names in 2015. As of 2016, she is the 938th most popular female name.
Her Dutch form of Viënna is currently the 309th most popular female name in the Netherlands (2016) and the 486th most popular female name in England and Wales (2016).
