Tiffany

Tiffany comes from the Medieval English form of the Greek name Theophania, meaning manifestation of God or divine appearance — a name traditionally given to children born around the feast of the Epiphany. Over centuries it evolved from its sacred origins into an elegant secular name, and was further transformed by associations with the iconic jewelry house Tiffany and Co., lending it a glamorous, blue-box shimmer. For a pet, Tiffany brings that same polished sparkle.

Tiffany is a name that comes with its own aesthetic — sophisticated, a little sparkly, and carrying an air of refined taste. Companions named Tiffany tend to have a certain innate glamour about them, the kind of pet who seems to have opinions about their living arrangements and prefers things to be just so. There is real warmth underneath the polish, of course, and a Tiffany is just as likely to be found deeply asleep in the sunniest spot in the house as they are holding court in the middle of the room. The name suits a companion with a flair for the finer things.
