Tiffany has meaning both as a proper noun and as a common noun

"Tiffany" as it is used in the girls name and in the family name (as-in, Louis Comfort Tiffany) and then I find a definition for the word used as a common noun:
tiffany |ˌtɪfəni|, noun, thin gauze muslin. Early 17th century: from Old French tifanie, via ecclesiastical Latin from Greek theophaneia ‘epiphany.’ The word is usually taken to be short for Epiphany silk or muslin, which is a reference to that worn on Twelfth Night (holiday), but may be a humorous allusion to epiphany in the sense: manifestation; tiffany being semitransparent.
