Tiffany

Meaning

Tiffany is traditionally treated as an English pet form of Epiphany, via the Greek Theophania, a word for the showing or manifestation of God. The excerpts also note that Tiffany was used historically in England and was popular for both sexes, though especially for women. In modern use, it is understood mainly as a feminine given name.

Origin

Fun fact

The 19th-century sources explicitly connect Tiffany with Epiphany and Theophania, showing that it began as a religious-calendar name rather than a fashion name.
