History & Origin

Tiffini is one of many respellings of Tiffany, from the medieval Theophania, Greek for 'manifestation of God,' the feast of Epiphany. It rode the enormous popularity of Tiffany, when parents multiplied its spellings — Tiffani, Tiffiny, Tiffini — to stand out. It reached its high around 1980 at close to a hundred girls a year.

Tiffini faded with Tiffany after the nineteen-eighties. It reads unmistakably as an eighties name today, a creative-spelling cousin of the mainstream Tiffany; a girl given it at its peak is now in her forties. The standard Tiffany is the recognized form.

Did you know? Tiffany, and so Tiffini, began as a name for girls born around Epiphany — the Greek Theophania — long before it became a jewelry house and a very eighties given name.
