In the Voodoo organized religion, a Vévé is a symbol used in black magic to summon a god or spirit for various purposes.

In the North American version of the Terminal Fantasy 9 instruction manual, Vivi'south final name was rendered as Ornitier.

The natural French descendant of this word is ornithier [/ɔʁnitje/], with ornitier as a possible alternative spelling.
