"Viva" Meaning

"Viva" is a Latin word that can have several meanings depending on the context in which it is used.

1. To live: In ancient Roman and Latin language, "viva" is the third person singular present tense of "vivere," which means "to live." For example, "vivit" would mean "he lives."

2. As a phrase: "Viva" can also be used as an exclamation or phrase in response to a victory or a celebration. It originates from the Italian phrase "Viva il re," meaning "Long live the king." In a TL;DR (too long; didn't read), this is more commonly translated to "the king lives" which in more historical terms would be more of a phrase like "hail the king" but we also use it to say hail some ones else as well and is more of a interpolated phrase to say hail upon "(asis/profile/name).
