I'm confused

Apparently it's news to a lot of you that Viviane, the Lady of the Lake, raised Lancelot. Why did you think his name was Lancelot du Lac?

(This is a serious question, btw; if La Dame du Lac didn't raise him, why is his name Lancelot of the Lake?)

I knew that Lancelot was raised by the Lady of the Lake, but in most of the versions I know, Viviane was not the Lady of the Lake.

...or, at least, not the Lady of that lake.

Ooh, can you tell me about the versions that have Viviane and the Lady of the Lake as separate?
