Teofano is Greek in Origin.
Teofano is a feminine name of Greek origin, corresponding to Medieval Greek Theophanō (Θεοφανώ) and related to Theophania. Formed from theos “god” and phainō “to appear, reveal,” it conveys the sense “manifestation of God” and is closely linked to the Christian feast of Theophany/Epiphany. The form Teofano reflects Romance and modern transliterations that simplify the -ph- to -f-.
It flourished across the Byzantine world, borne by notable tenth‑century empresses, including the canonized Saint Theophano and the influential Theophanu, wife of Otto II, which helped carry the name into the Latin West. Variants and cognates include Theophano, Theophanu (German), Theophania, Teofania (Italian/Spanish), Teofana (Romanian/Bulgarian), and Feofania (Slavic). Diminutives Fani, Fano, and Thea occur in Greek usage. Today the name sees periodic revival in Orthodox communities, with a name day commonly marked on January 6.
Teofano is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 10 times, across 4 countries.
