Epiphany is Greek in Origin.
Epiphany derives from Greek epipháneia “manifestation, appearance,” via Latin epiphania. In Christian tradition it names the January 6 feast celebrating Christ’s manifestation to the Magi (and, in some rites, his baptism), so the term came to mean a revelation. As a given name, Epiphany appears sporadically in English from the 18th century as a calendar choice, and it has longer-standing use in Catholic and Orthodox cultures - often given to children born near the feast.
International variants include Epifanía (Spanish), Epifânia (Portuguese), Epifania (Italian), and Épiphanie (French). Related masculine forms are Epiphanios/Epiphanius and Epifanio. The name is used for all genders in theory, though modern English usage skews feminine. Nicknames and short forms include Epi, Fani/Fany (Spanish diminutive), Nia, and Eppie. Its core meaning, “manifestation” or “revelation,” carries connotations of sudden insight and luminous appearing.
