English variation of Theophania, Greek
"of divine manifestation"

Tifany Origin and Meaning

The name Tifany is a girl's name.

Tifany is a variant spelling of the more common Tiffany, a feminine name derived from the medieval English form of Theophania, meaning "manifestation of God." This alternate spelling emerged as parents sought to personalize the popular name while maintaining its recognizable sound. Tifany gained modest usage in the late 20th century but remains far less common than the standard spelling. The name carries associations with elegance and luxury, partly due to the connection with the renowned jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co. Historically, Tiffany became widely popular in America during the 1980s, with the variant Tifany following this trend but never achieving the same level of usage. This spelling variation offers a subtle way to distinguish the name while preserving its familiar pronunciation and cultural associations.
