I was curious and googled it. Turns out it's very old.

Thanks for looking into it. So, Oscar Wilde went with a more standard spelling then I gave him credit for. I'm weirdly disappointed; I was hoping he did something more akin to a celebrity in modern times.

I know a few people with the surname Vyvyan (in Cornwall) and my mother went to school with a male Vyvyan.
