Fieafan

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Theóphanes (θεοφάνης),” composed of two elements: “theós ‎(θεός)” (divine, a deity, a god, God) plus “phaínō ‎(φαίνω)” (to appear, bring to light, show, uncover, reveal, make known). In turn, the name means “Epiphany, a manifestation of God, the appearance or manifestation of a deity to mortals.” Tiffany is an English form of the Greek Theophania. It was formerly often given to children born on the feast of Theophania, that is, epiphany, but apparently used even for those born on other days of the year. Its use ended after the middle ages but resumed after the success of the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. At Delphi, the Theophania (θεοφάνια) or Theophanies was an annual festival in spring celebrating the return of Apollo from his winter quarters in Hyperborea.
