- Fania
- Free, Latin name meaning free.
- Fany
- This name derives from the Medieval Latin “Francus / Franciscus,” meaning “Franco, belonging to the people of the Franks.” In turn, the name derives from the Germanic “*frankô / *franka,” meaning “javelin, spear.” Ultimately the name is a derivative of the Proto-Germanic “*sahsą,” meaning “knife, dagger.” The Franks, in the Middle Ages, were the only ones who enjoyed the rights of free citizens; the term “frank” means “free man, sincere or true.” The term can be associated with the baptismal name since the ninth century. Originally it refers to a Germanic people who derived their tribal name from a type of ax they used in the past. The Francisca (or Francesca) is a throwing ax used as a weapon during the early Middle Ages by the Franks, among whom it was a typical national weapon at the time of the Merovingians from 500 to 750 known to have been used during the reign of Charlemagne (768-814). Francis of Assisi was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men’s Franciscan Order, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis, for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares.
- Veanne

- Fani
- This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Theóphanes (θεοφάνης),” composed of two elements: “theós (θεός)” (divine, a deity, a god, God) plus “phaínō (φαίνω)” (to appear, bring to light, show, uncover, reveal, make known). In turn, the name means “Epiphany, a manifestation of God, the appearance or manifestation of a deity to mortals.” Tiffany is an English form of the Greek Theophania. It was formerly often given to children born on the feast of Theophania, that is, epiphany, but apparently used even for those born on other days of the year. Its use ended after the middle ages but resumed after the success of the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. At Delphi, the Theophania (θεοφάνια) or Theophanies was an annual festival in spring celebrating the return of Apollo from his winter quarters in Hyperborea.

- This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Theopháneia (Θεοφάνεια) epipháneia (ἐπιφάνεια),” composed of two elements: “epí (ἐπῐ́)” (on, upon) plus “phaínō (φαίνω)” (to appear, bring to light, show, uncover, reveal, make known). In turn, the name means “Epiphany, revelation, manifestation, striking appearance, a vision of God.” Theophany, which traditionally falls on January 6, is a Christian feast day that celebrates God’s revelation as a human being in Jesus Christ. Eastern Churches following the Julian calendar observe the Theophany feast on what for most countries is January 19 because of the 13-day difference today between that calendar and the generally used Gregorian calendar.
