Vivian (name)
Vivian (and variants such as Vivien and Vivienne) is a given name, and less often a surname, derived from a Latin name of the Roman Empire period, masculine ''Vivianus'' and feminine '' Viviana'', which survived into modern use because it is the name of two early Christian female martyrs as well as of a male saint and bishop. History and variants The Latin name Vivianus is recorded from the 1st century. It is ultimately related to the adjective ''vivus'' "alive", but it is formed from the compound form ''vivi-'' and the adjectival suffix used to form ''cognomina''. The latinate given name Vivianus was of limited popularity in the medieval period in reference to Saint Vivianus, a 5th-century bishop of Saintes; the feminine name was that of Saint Viviana (Bibiana), a 4th-century martyr whose veneration in Rome is ascertained for the 5th century. In Arthurian legend, Vivian in its various spellings is one of the names of the Lady of the Lake. The name was brought to England with ...

Ballantrae, Ontario
Ballantrae, Ontario ( 2011 population 1,382) is a hamlet in the Town of Whitchurch–Stouffville. Named after the village of Ballantrae in South Ayrshire, Scotland, the community is centred on the intersection of Aurora Road ( York Regional Road 15) and Highway 48. History The hamlet was first settled in the early nineteenth century, and by 1895 it had a population of 300. A spur-line of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway built in 1877 ran through Ballantrae from Stouffville to Jackson's Point on Lake Simcoe. In the early twentieth century, Ballantrae's population declined dramatically. Large-scale deforestation and erosion of the thin soil of northern Whitchurch Township created virtual sand deserts. With the passage of the Reforestation Act (1911), the process of reclaiming these areas slowly began. The Vivian Forest, a large conservation area on the edge of Ballantrae, was established in 1924 for this purpose. Vivian, Ontario Vivian was initially an independent settlement l ...

Critical reception ''People'' magazine called the album a "satisfying sophomore outing" and wrote: "''Vivian'', with its more straightforward contemporary soul, lacks the jazzy shadings of the superior ''A Love Story'', and the last third of the disc suffers from a few forgettable tracks. By then, however, Green and her everywoman appeal have already left a winning impression." Allmusic editor Andy Kellman felt that Green ...
