History & Origin

Tifany is a one-f spelling of Tiffany, whose root is the Greek Theophania, 'manifestation of God' — the feast of the Epiphany, once given to girls born in early January. Tiffany surged across 1980s America, and simplified or altered spellings like Tifany appeared alongside it. The meaning is exactly Tiffany's.

The spelling crested around 1982 and stayed uncommon, borne by roughly a thousand girls across a run that lingered into the 2010s. A Tifany named at the peak is now in her early forties. The full Tiffany dominated; this spelling reads as a period variant of a 1980s favorite.

Did you know? Tifany trims one letter from Tiffany, but the meaning runs all the way back to Theophania, the Greek name of the Epiphany.
