Originally they were the lamps designed by Tiffany but now any lamp of that style is called a tiffany lamp.

I've always thought they were from the jeweler. A websearch produced the following results, part of the text is:
"Without any exaggeration, Tiffany lamps have always been the real pieces of art and the outstanding addition to any living space. These two postulates made up the lifelong idea of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) "to provide good art for American homes". During his life Tiffany managed to be a painter, interior designer, collector, world traveler, photographer, manufacturer, and avid gardener. Today he is commonly recognized as one of America's most influential artists, designers and craftsmen of the century, while Tiffany's lamps were and still are known worldwide for their superior design and handcrafted details"

Tiffany was the name of the original designer of the glass lamps and yes, he was the son of the founders of Tiffany & Co.
