Historical Context

The form originates from the Greek theophania, meaning a theophany or manifestation of the divine. In early Christian tradition the Feast of the Epiphany celebrated the revelation of Christ to the wider world. Over time the Greek term passed into Latin and then into medieval languages as various forms tied to that festival name.

The English name Tiffany became established in the medieval period as a name given to girls born on or near the Epiphany. Over centuries the spelling stabilised in the form Tiffany. Modern variations such as Tifanny are contemporary respellings that keep the original associations but offer a personalised look. The name saw a surge in popularity in the late 20th century and remains recognisable and widely used in English speaking countries.
