History & Origin

Tiffney is one of the many 1980s respellings of Tiffany, whose root is the Greek Theophania, 'manifestation of God,' the name of the Epiphany feast. Tiffany exploded in popularity in that decade, and creative spellings such as Tiffney, Tiffani, and Tiffanie followed the trend. The meaning is exactly Tiffany's.

The spelling crested around 1980 and stayed uncommon, borne by roughly a thousand girls before fading by the early 2000s. A Tiffney named at the peak is now in her mid-forties, a Generation X name. The standard Tiffany dominated; this variant reads as a period spelling of a 1980s favorite.

Did you know? Tiffany looks modern but is medieval: it comes from Theophania, the Epiphany, once given to girls born around the January feast — and spellings like Tiffney carry that ancient sense.
