Tiffany is the medieval English form of the Greek name Theophania. It was traditionally to give the name to girl born on the feast of Theophania, or Epiphany.
After the middle ages, the given name fell out of favor, but it did continue to be used as a (rare) surname... for instance the family that founded the Tiffany & Co.
Richard Gere's middle name is Tiffany, which was also his mother's maiden name. Since boys are sometimes given their mother's maiden name as a given name, it's likely there are more males named Tiffany, but it's not traditional.
