History & Origin
Tifani is a spelling variant of Tiffany, the medieval form of Greek Theophania, 'manifestation of God', traditionally given to girls born at Epiphany. Tiffany surged in the nineteen-eighties, and pared-down spellings like Tifani gave it a personal twist.
This spelling stayed rare, chosen for only a few dozen girls a year and cresting in the early nineteen-eighties before fading with the wider Tiffany fashion. A Tifani today is likely in her forties, and the spelling reads as an eighties stylization of a name with deep roots.
