Meaning & origin
Tiffay is a rare spelling variant of the more familiar Tiffany. It first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1974, and its peak popularity came in 1987, when it likely resonated with the broader trend for Tiffany and similar -ay endings. Usage has since declined dramatically, remaining stable at very low numbers through the latest year of data, 2025. Tiffay has no strong regional concentration, as it appears across the country in very small counts. Parents drawn to this name often seek a unique twist on a 1980s classic, though the name's rarity ensures it remains off the beaten path.
Tiffay is a rare modern variant of Tiffany, which derives from the Greek name Theophania meaning 'manifestation of God.' Tiffany was historically given to girls born around the Epiphany, but the variant Tiffay likely arose as a simplified spelling in the late 20th century. It was first recorded in the U.S. in 1974 and saw modest use in the 1980s, peaking in 1987.
