Meaning & origin
Latiffany is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1974. It rose in popularity during the 1980s, reaching its peak in 1987, and has since declined in use. The name is a creative elaboration of Tiffany, which enjoyed a surge in popularity in the 1980s due to its association with the luxury brand and the classic Audrey Hepburn film. Latiffany is typical of the 'La-' prefix names that became fashionable in African American communities, mirroring trends seen with names like Latisha and Lashonda. Although its use has stabilized at very low numbers in recent years, Latiffany remains a distinctive choice with a clear modern pedigree.
Latiffany is a modern invented name, formed by attaching the fashionable prefix 'La-' (popular in African American naming traditions from the 1960s onward) to the established name Tiffany. Tiffany derives from the Greek Theophania, meaning 'epiphany' or 'appearance of God', used as a given name since the Middle Ages and revived in the 1980s. Latiffany emerged as a creative elaboration, part of a trend of names like Latisha and Lashonda.
