What Does the Name Tiffany Mean?
Tiffany is an English given name derived from the Greek Theophania (Θεοφάνεια), which means manifestation of God or appearance of God. The Greek name is formed from theos, meaning god, and phainein, meaning to show or to appear. It came into English through the Old French form Tiphaine, which developed from the Latin Theophania. The name is related to, but not the same as, the word epiphany; both share the Greek root phainein, but Tiffany's immediate source is the name Theophania. In Christian use, the name was associated with the feast of the Epiphany on January 6, which celebrates the manifestation of Christ, and girls born on that day were sometimes named Tiffany or its variants.
Tiffany Name History & Origins
The Greek personal name Theophania passed into Latin as Theophania and then into medieval French as Tiphaine. In France and England, the name was sometimes given to girls born on the Feast of the Epiphany. The English form Tiffany developed from the French form and was used in England during the Middle Ages; it also became a surname. After the Middle Ages, the given name became uncommon in England, while the surname continued. In the 19th century, Tiffany returned to use as a first name. The surname was borne by Charles Lewis Tiffany, who founded the jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. in 1837, but the given name's history is older than the company. In the 20th century, Tiffany was a familiar given name in the United States and other English-speaking countries.
