Piwiva was a Acjachemen village located at the confluence of San Juan Creek and Cañada Gobernadora tributary in what is now Rancho Mission Viejo, California.[1][2][3] The name for the village was closely related to the Payómkawichum word for wild tobacco piivat.[1] It was located north of Mission San Juan Capistrano, downstream from the village of Huumai and upstream from the village of Sajavit.[1] Alternative names for the village include Pii'iv, Pivits, and Peviva.[4]
