Viet is the name of the people. "Viet" was a pronunciation of a Chinese word for "far", which described a nomadic (wandering hunter) people in that region of Asia.

These wanderers migrated southward into current-day Vietnam.

"Nam" means South.

Therefore, Vietnam means "Viet (ethnic) people of the South."
