Meaning & origin

Tyffani is a respelled variant of Tiffany that emerged in the 1980s, first recorded in 1980 during the decade when creative spellings of established names became a trend. The name reached its peak popularity in 1987, though it never entered the national top 1000. It follows the trajectory of many names from that era, first recorded in 1980 and maintaining a stable but low usage through the 1990s and beyond. The peak year occurred in 1987, reflecting the broader popularity of 'Tiffany' and its variants in the 1980s. Tyffani is a distinctly modern English construction, used almost exclusively for girls, and has not been recorded in any top states or ranking lists.

Tyffani is a respelled variant of Tiffany, which itself derives from the Greek Theophania via the Latin Tiffania. The name was used in medieval England for girls born around the Feast of the Epiphany. Modern spellings like Tyffani emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend toward unique name spellings.
