Meaning & origin
Tiffiny is a respelling of Tiffany that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1964, following the popularity of the jewelry brand Tiffany & Co. and the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. The name saw its peak usage in 1980, though it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. The trajectory has been stable in recent years, with very few births annually. While not widespread, Tiffiny retains a distinctive spelling that appeals to parents seeking a modern twist on a classic name.
Tiffiny is a modern respelling of Tiffany, which itself comes from the Greek Theophania, a compound of 'theos' (God) and 'phainein' (to show). The name was traditionally given to girls born on the Feast of the Epiphany, commemorating the manifestation of Christ to the Magi. It was used in medieval England and revived in the 20th century, with the 'Tiffiny' spelling appearing after Tiffany & Co.'s rise in popularity.
