What it means
A place name from Vienna, the elegant Austrian capital (from the Roman Vindobona).
Vienna is a place name borrowed from the Austrian capital, whose Roman settlement was called Vindobona. It carries an air of waltzes, coffeehouses, and old Europe, and it joins the wave of city names parents have adopted. Billy Joel's song 'Vienna' gives it a wistful pop echo. It pairs nicely with Sienna and Savannah. Vi and Enna are possible shorts.
