Tiphanie
Tiphanie Origin and Meaning
Tiphanie is a feminine name that represents a French-influenced spelling variant of Tiffany. The original name derives from the Greek 'Theophania,' meaning 'manifestation of God' or 'divine appearance.' This particular spelling with 'ph' instead of 'ff' and ending in 'ie' rather than 'y' gives the name a French flair while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Tiffany became extremely popular in America during the 1980s, but the Tiphanie variation has remained much less common, offering distinctiveness while still being recognizable. The name carries associations with elegance and luxury partly due to the famous jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co. This spelling variant appeals to parents who appreciate the classic name but desire a more unique presentation with European sophistication.
