History & Origin

Epifania is the Spanish and Italian name for the feast of the Epiphany, from the Greek epiphaneia, 'manifestation.' It was a devotional choice in Hispanic and Italian Catholic families, especially for daughters born near the January feast. In United States records it appears from the early 1890s, carried by immigrant communities, and was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-1920s high.

A woman named Epifania from that period would be a great-grandmother today. The name stays tied to its Catholic, Spanish-speaking roots; the short form Fanny once eased it into English-speaking settings, and it endures quietly in Hispanic families rather than trending broadly.

Did you know? Epifania is a calendar name: girls carrying it were often born on or near January the sixth, the feast of the Epiphany, when many Hispanic families exchange gifts in memory of the Three Kings.
