About Fig

A playful word name, Fig is probably best saved for a nickname, a fictional character, or a pet — or perhaps a middle option. Culturally associated with cultivation and refinement in ancient Greece, with chastity in the Bible, and enlightenment in Buddhism, this fruit name may make a fun nickname option for Felix, Frederick, and Finnegan.

Pronounced FIG.
