Tiffan
Tiffan Origin and Meaning
Tiffan is a feminine name that serves as a shortened form of Tiffany, which originated from the Greek name Theophania, meaning 'manifestation of God.' The name gained recognition through the medieval period when 'Tiffany' referred to the feast of Epiphany. Tiffan offers a modern, streamlined alternative to the more common Tiffany, which peaked in popularity during the 1980s. This variant maintains the elegant sound of its parent name while providing a distinctive edge. Though significantly less common than Tiffany, Tiffan has attracted parents seeking familiar-sounding yet unique names. The name carries associations with creativity and distinction, partly due to its connection to the prestigious Tiffany & Co. jewelry brand, founded in the 19th century.
