The name was popular in the United States from the 1970s to early 1990s. Between 1980 and 1991 the number of babies named Tiffany born each year exceeded 10,000, peaking at 18,361 in 1988.[2] This popularity was spawned by the 1961 movie starring Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, referring to the jewelry company rather than the feast of Epiphany.[3][4]
