Frequent Art Questions

  • Where does the name "Comfort" come from? My theory is that it is a reference to the religious revivalism of the Antebellum period.

    It's a family name that stretches back to the middle 18th century in the Tiffany family. As to its origins and possible meanings or religious associations, I can only guess. The first Comfort in the family was Comfort Tiffany who was born in October of 1758.
