The city of Vienna; Latin Vindobona, from Gaulish vindo-, "white"
Also used to mean: from Vienna
Vienna is the English name of the capital of Austria, called Wien in German. The Online Etymology Dictionary traces it through French Vienne to Latin Vindobona, the name of the Roman settlement there, and explains that as Gaulish vindo-, "white", the source also of Welsh gwyn, with bona, "foundation" or "fort"; the "white" may have described the river. As a girl's name it calls up the music, cafés and grand buildings of the city. It is said vee-EN-uh and sounds soft beside Indian surnames.
