History & Origin
Teffany is a phonetic spelling of Tiffany, whose roots reach back to the Greek Theophania, 'God appearing,' the church's name for Epiphany. Girls born near the feast once bore forms like Tiphaine. The Teffany spelling belongs to the 1970s vogue for the name, when families reshaped its look while keeping its sound.
Teffany was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the mid-nineteen-seventies, a small variant beside the then-fashionable Tiffany. A girl named Teffany then is around fifty today.
