Vivaldi uses the Blink rendering engine from the Chromium project, itself just a fork of WebKit, but the application code is not from Chrome or Chromium (no code comes from Chrome, AFAIK.)

So 'Google Blink Vivaldi' at best.

Chromium is an extremely convenient excuse for Google, but we all know that it is nothing more than a trailing version of Chrome with some modifications. Chromium is not a hard fork of Chrome and never was. Every significant change Google wants appears there too. Yes code, does come into Chromium first but that's just and extra step, meaningless really. Google carefully checks that anti monopoly laws wouldn't affect their second main cash cow.
