Meaning & origin
Tiffani is a modern respelling of the classic name Tiffany, which originates from the Greek Theophania, meaning 'appearance of God.' The alternate spelling first appeared in U.S. records in 1962, reflecting a trend of distinctive phonetic variants that gained traction in the late 20th century. The name reached its highest usage in 1981, ranking 11,932 in 2025, with an estimated 1 in 229,610 girls receiving the name that year. Since 1994, its use has steadily declined, placing it among names that feel strongly tied to the 1980s. Tiffani has no recorded top states for its use. Its enduring appeal lies in its familiar sound and its connection to the well-established name Tiffany.
Tiffani is a variant spelling of Tiffany, which derives from the Greek name Theophania, meaning 'appearance' or 'manifestation of God,' originally given to girls born on the feast of the Epiphany (January 6). The name was introduced to English speakers through medieval French and became popular as a given name in the 20th century, especially in the United States. The alternative spelling Tiffani emerged in the mid-20th century as a modern stylistic variation.
