Tiphanie
A girl's name of Greek origin with 623 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Tiphanie peaked during the Millennial wave, when 32 babies received this name in a single year (1988). That era was defined by pop-culture-influenced, individuality-forward naming, and Tiphanie has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Tiphanie is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Tiphanie is a girl's baby name, a spelling variant of Tiffany, which is of Greek origin, from Theophania, meaning 'manifestation of God' — the appearance of the divine, associated with Epiphany and the feast of the Three Kings.
Tiphanie gives Tiffany a French-flavored phonetic spelling that strips away the modern brand associations and returns to the name's medieval roots. Tiffany was a popular name in 12th-century England and France before its 20th-century revival via Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's.
