History & Origin

Kiffany is a creative K-for-T respelling of Tiffany, a name that comes through the medieval Theophania from the Greek for 'appearance of God,' historically given to girls born near Epiphany. Changing the first letter kept Tiffany's familiar sound while marking the spelling as distinctive.
