Rivian

A brand name with the edgy sound of Reeves and the elegance of Vivian, Rivian is associated with an American electric vehicle company. The company name was created by company founder Robert "RJ" Scaringe, by smooshing together the name of the Indian River (located in Florida).

The name debuted in the US stats for boys in 2024, when it was given to eleven babies. Interestingly, it had appeared in the stats back in the early 20th century for girls, possibly as a form of the Hebrew Rivia ("cantillation, chanting ritual"), Rivina ("pokeweed plant; stream"), or Hebrew Rivka (form of Rebecca).

If you like Rivian but don't want to use something so tied to a brand, Rhydian, Riordan, or Rilian might appeal.

Rivian is also given to girls, where it ranks #12914 in the US.

Pronounced RIV-ee-un.

As of October 2026, Rivian ranked #12914 for girls and #9525 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4872 for girls in 1920 and #7612 for boys in 2024.
