I heard a story on the radio today where they mentioned a social scientist named Viana. Since it was the radio, I don't know the correct spelling, but from a few quick searches, this is my best guess. The name was pronounced vee-AH-nah.
There is no entry on BtN for this name (as far as I can tell) other than a user-submitted name which only says its Brazilian. Does anyone know if Viana is the common spelling? I'd be interested in other information, like the meaning and origin too. Thanks!
