Origin, Meaning, And History Of Tiffany

The name Tiffany has Greek origins and is an anglicized version of Theophania, which means “manifestation of God.” It is a popular choice among Christians. Traditionally, this name was given to girls born on January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany. Theophania or Epiphany holds great significance in the Bible as it commemorates the Magi’s visit to the baby Jesus, Jesus’ baptism, and the wedding at Cana. Epiphany is also known as “Three Kings’ Day” and “Twelfth Day” because it falls eleven days after and on the twelfth night of Christmas. Epiphany’s eve is also known as “Twelfth Night.” Liturgical churches, including Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican, primarily observe this event to honor the magi who represent the presentation of Christ to the Gentiles.

Tiffany has several variations, including Theophania in Ancient Greek, Tiphaine and Tiphanie in French, and Theofania in Greek. Other common variants may include Theophanie, Theophanes, Tifennie, Tiffaney, Theophano, Tiffani, Tiffanie, Tiffiny, Tiphanie, and Tifinie. Fan, Fannie, Fanny, Taffy, Tee, Fany, Tiff, Tiffi, Phany, Teph, Tiffie, Tiffy, Tiph, and Ti-ti are a few popular nicknames.

Many prominent fictional characters have been named Tiffany, including Tiffany Maxwell from the novel “The Silver Linings Playbook” by Matthew Quick, which was later adapted into a film in 2012. The character portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence in the movie earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. Tiffany is a young widow struggling with her mental health issues. She meets the protagonist, Pat, in a therapy group, and the two form an unlikely bond. Tiffany Aching from Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” series of novels and Tiffany Case, a character from the James Bond book “Diamonds Are Forever” by Ian Fleming, are two other prominent characters.
