Meaning & origin
Tiphany is a modern respelling of Tiffany, a name that enjoyed widespread popularity in the late 20th century. While Tiffany ranked in the top 100 from 1985 through 2000, Tiphany has always been much rarer. Its peak year was 1993, but even then it did not reach the top 1000. The name has remained stable in use since the 1990s, never rising or falling dramatically. Tiphany is a creative spelling that appeals to parents seeking a distinctive variant of a familiar name.
Tiphany is a modern respelling of Tiffany, which itself derives from the Greek Theophania, meaning 'appearance of God' or 'Epiphany'. The name came into English via the medieval French Tifinie, and was used as a given name from the 12th century, though it fell out of favor before being revived in the 20th century. Tiphany likely arose as a fashionable -y- variant during the late 20th century, following the rise of Tiffany in the 1980s and 1990s.
