Meaning & origin
Tiffany recalls the name Theophania, a Medieval Latin form of the Greek name for the Feast of the Epiphany. Historically given to girls born on the Epiphany (January 6), it was especially popular among early Christians and later in the Middle Ages. The modern revival of Tiffany began in the mid-20th century, but its breakthrough came after the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, starring Audrey Hepburn. The name entered the U.S. top 100 in 1979 and peaked at rank 13 in 1988, when it was among the most fashionable choices for girls. Since then, its popularity has declined steadily; by 2025 it ranked 878th with roughly 1 in 5,287 newborns. The name remained most concentrated in Nevada, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Despite falling from favor for new parents, Tiffany retains strong name recognition and cultural resonance.
From the Greek name Theophania, composed of theos (God) and phainein (to show, appear). It was originally given to girls born on the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6), celebrating the manifestation of Christ to the Magi. The name spread through medieval Christianity, and in modern times it gained widespread popularity after the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's and the luxury jewelry brand.
