A type of iridescent glass developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany; also a female given name meaning 'God's appearance' or referring to the Epiphany.
From Greek 'Theophania' meaning God's appearance, traditionally given to girls born around Epiphany (January 6th). The glass meaning comes from the famous American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany who developed this distinctive art glass style.
Tiffany glass revolutionized stained glass art by using opalescent glass that changes color depending on light and viewing angle. The name Tiffany was incredibly popular in medieval times but nearly disappeared until the 1960s, when it experienced a dramatic revival.
