Frank Viva: Hello. My name is Frank Viva, V-I-V-A. Viva. When my great-grandparents came to Canada, their name was Vivacqua, and they shortened it to Viva. I don't know why; that's lost in time. However, I have always known Viva and not Vivacqua, although Vivacqua, the translation of it means lively water I'm told. So, that sounds kind of cool. I don't know what Viva means, but I have lived with it all these years and I'm not going to change now.
