Origin of Vives

It should derive from the Latin name Viventius of which there are traces in the 4th century as reported in the Historiae of Ammianus Marcellinus :"...advenit successor eius ex quaesitore palatii Viventius integer et prudens Pannonius, cuius administratio quieta fuit ..."; (Viventius originally from Siscia (the Segestica of the Celts), the current Sisak in Croatia, was quaestor of the sacred palace and became urban prefect in 366 AD).
