All about Tiffany

Hello guys. I am Tiffany. Guess after changing so many names finally I am going to settle down with this name Tiffany. It was given by someone dear to me. After struggling as my usual self for a while. I like it. So I am sticking with it. For friends who know me for some years they may remember me by other names. But I guess it is sort of like nicknames. AT different phases of my life. I am different. And maybe different names suits different me.

I got these 2 interesting descriptions of me:
Cool exterior, fire beneath.
Warm outlook, cold inside.
= complex, ever changing.

But my principles, values, outlooks for people and loyalty is always constant.

Tiffany

It has been a while since i put up any pic of mine due to privacy reasons. But oh well... I just like the way pictures and words, forms, colours, animartion being arranged and displayed on my blog.

Have you wonder about what your name means? I always have.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY

In Old French and Middle English it was a name given to girls who were born on Epiphany Day. Tiffany was also an early common name for the festival of the Epiphany. As a surname, as held by Charles L. Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. the name dates back to England from about 1206. An English definition from 1601 defines tiffany as a thin, transparent fabric, but that definition is only found in English and the origin of that definition is unclear except perhaps as a vague allusion to "manifestation" but that is only speculation.

Definition: A thin, transparent gauze of silk or cotton muslin.

Usage: "Tiffany" is a beautiful word afloat in a history of beauty, as soft and subtle as the fabric itself reason aplenty to not lose sight (or sound) of it: "Manon walked slowly down the aisle, her face all but hoodwinked in a tiffany veil." The metaphorical possibilities are endless: "It was a bright, clear day with only a few tiffany clouds adorning the horizon."

Suggested Usage: Today's word is a popular female name as well as a family name drenched in artistic history: Charles Tiffany founded Tiffany & Co., the posh New York City jewelry store and his son, Louis, created some of this country's most striking Art Nouveau lamps Tiffany lamps whose style has again become highly visible in fashionable American homes.

Etymology: As befits a word of its stature, the ancestry of today's word is positively celestial: it is an ancient French word, tiphanie "Epiphany," a descendant of Late Latin "theophania" with the same meaning. (It may have originally referred to a special material worn on Epiphany or other church holidays.) The Latin word was taken from Greek "theophaneia," based on theo- "god" + phan- from phainein "to show," hence, an appearance of God. The Greek root "theo-" is akin to Latin festus "festive" and fanum "temple," whence our "festival," "fete," and "fanatic" (shortened to "fan" in sports), "profane," respectively.

Thus, I am honored to be called Tiffany by dear.Btw I am falling in love with type of blurry pictures. Misty. Some girls once told me when I turn my head back, smile and waved good bye to her. She said: You look stunning. If I am a guy I will totally fall in love with you.
Haha~ What a nice complement coming from a girl.
