History & Origin
Tiphani is a respelled form of Tiffany, which comes through medieval French from the Greek Theophania, 'manifestation of God'. In the Middle Ages Tiffania was given to girls born near the Epiphany. The ph-and-i spelling looks freshly made yet quietly points back to the Greek phi at the name's origin.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-1980s high while Tiffany itself was a top name. A woman named Tiphani from then is now in her late thirties.
