vivante

Vivante is the feminine form of the French adjective vivant, meaning living, alive, or lively. The term derives from Latin vivus, passing through Old French. In modern French, vivante agrees with feminine nouns and is used to describe living beings or lively qualities.

As an adjective, vivante commonly appears in phrases such as une personne vivante (a living person) or une idée vivante (a vivid idea), where it modifies a feminine noun. It can also appear in literary or descriptive contexts to convey vitality or animation.

In addition to its linguistic use, vivante can function as a proper noun in rare instances. It may appear as a given name, a surname, or as a brand or product name in areas like fashion, cosmetics, or art. Because it operates as a descriptive term in French, its use as a standalone noun is typically limited to branding or artistic contexts rather than everyday speech.
