The name Vivari means a marine area that is properly fenced and can be used as a fish farm OR reed fence at a lagoon opening, making sense due to the protection that the natural cove offers. The etymology of the word is "modern Greek βιβάρι - medieval Greek βιβάριον - Latin vivarium, an enclosure, container, or structure adapted or prepared for keeping animals under semi-natural conditions for observation, study or as pets.
