That's for the romanised legend.
There's no viviane/namue in the welsh/breton legends.
That's middle age invention when christianizing the pagan legends
(introduction of the holy grail, downfall by eve as viviane, ...)
Thus -ENOENT

Though Myrddin Wyllt (Merzhin in breton) does be part of  the original
legends[1] used by the writers...
