I feel a huge connection with the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn. I also feel a connection with the diamond store in New York called Tiffany & Co. Not in an idol worshipping kind of way, but more as a reflection and constant reminder of how much of a treasure God thinks I am compared to what the world thinks or portrays me as due to how God allowed me to be named after the most priceless jewelry in America. Names have meaning and great significance! Tiffany also means "the appearance or manifestation of God".
My mom named me after this diamond store in NY and she tells me it's because she knew I would be a jewel, or perhaps she simply meant I am worth great value. She could also have meant to say I am beautiful as a diamond, I am as special as a gem, etc.. My mom also told me my dad originally wanted to name me Crystal (that would have been related to jewels also) but my mom won and named me Tiffany. Either way, they were both thinking about me before they even knew or met me that I was very valuable or maybe even priceless. The main point is that my mom knew the importance of the meaning of a name. A name is destiny.
Audrey Hepburn played a "call girl" or an expensive escort in the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's. I also spent some darks years of my life as a young woman where I did not handle sex and love appropriately the way a virtuous woman should have, and I did things I am not proud of when it comes to where the issues of sex and money were involved in my life. It was definitely not on the path of becoming the woman God intended me to be one day, that's for sure. In the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn was just a young woman yearning for love and attention in the wrong ways from the wrong types of men. She was looking for sugar daddy or a rich older man to take care of her and buy her diamonds. This does help life flow more smoothly when a woman in a wealthy marriage, but it is not best to idolize money, which is what she ( and I ) were doing wrong. See, sometimes, diamonds and money might seem like the better option to have because, well, they don't let you down. Men do. I get it. Boy, do I get it. But God often has other plans for us that we can't see for ourselves, and she ends up falling in love with someone unexpectedly than what she originally thought she wanted. God gave her what she didn't know she actually really needed. And He did the same for me - and He will do the same for you, too.
I, too, am in love with diamonds. Looking at them, gazing at them, admiring them tremendously, thinking, as I stare at them, how all my problems have disappeared and are no longer significant as long as I am looking at something so beautiful. I was raised poor but have had the privilege of owning a pair of diamond earrings for a short period of time, then they were taken away, I was so sad. Lol, but I will greatly be appreciative if I ever receive any diamonds again in my life.
I would like to open a coffee shop / breakfast bar one day and called it "Breakfast With Tiffany" and have coffee and breakfast + Christian + diamond/glitter art themes with decor and books, etc...
What does Tiffany mean?pronounce
[ 3 syll. tif-fa-ny, ti-ff-any ] The baby girl name Tiffany is pronounced as TIYF-aa-Niy- †. Tiffany is of Old Greek origin. It is used mainly in English and German. The meaning of Tiffany is 'manifestation of god'. It is a biblical name from theos which means 'god' ; phainein 'to show, to appear'. The name is derived via Tifaine (Old French) from Theophania (Old Greek). It was initially given to girls born on the Epiphany, a feast day on January 6 celebrating the appearance of God in human form as Jesus. It declined in use after the Middle Ages, but later saw a revival in the 20th century, promoted by the success of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) starring Audrey Hepburn, in reference to Tiffany, the famous New York jewellery shop.
