History & Origin

Taffany is a respelled form of Tiffany, which comes through medieval French and English from the Greek Theophania, 'manifestation of God'. In the Middle Ages Tiffania was given to girls born around the Epiphany. This a-vowel spelling keeps the ancient meaning while giving the very-1980s name an offbeat look.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-1980s high while Tiffany itself was a top name. A woman named Taffany from then is now in her late thirties.

Did you know? Tiffany, the name behind Taffany, began as a medieval name for girls born near Epiphany, when the word Theophania marked the 'showing forth' of God.
