Meaning & Origin
Viaan is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'full of life' or 'lively,' from the Sanskrit root vi (intensity) combined with an (breath, life). The name gained international attention when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan named their son Viaan Abhishek Bachchan in 2011.
Viaan is primarily used in India and among the South Asian diaspora — rare in U.S. records with about 1,560 births — but it's a name rising among Hindu families who appreciate its vibrant, life-affirming meaning.
