Tiff is Greek in Origin.
Crisp and contemporary, Tiff is a clipped form of Tiffany, which passed into English via Old French Tiphaine from Greek Theophania, "manifestation of God." The name is linked to the Christian feast of Epiphany, when God's presence is revealed, and was traditionally used for girls born near that date.
In England and northern France, Tiffany/Tiphaine appears in medieval records, later fading before a 20th-century revival fueled by pop culture and the prestige jeweler; as Tiffany rose in the 1970s-90s, Tiff emerged as an independent given name. Today it remains chiefly feminine but can serve as a unisex nickname. Variants and related forms include Tiffany, Tiffani, Tiffanie, Tiphany, Tiphaine (French), Epifania (Romance), Teofania/Feofania/Theophania. Diminutives include Tiffy and Tif. In English, "tiff" also means a slight quarrel, an unrelated word that sometimes lends a breezy, informal tone.
