About Figgy
Associated with figgy pudding and the Christmas rhyme, Figgy is a nickname-style choice, possibly used as a diminutive (or feminine variation) of Fig (as in the fruit), Folke (an old English and Danish name meaning "people"), Figaro (literary name meaning "barber"), or Felicity (meaning "happy, good fortune").
In the rhyme, and in terms of the pudding, it refers to raisins or dried fruit in general, rather than figs specifically.
The name has appeared occasionally in the England and Wales stats, with four girls given the name in a recent year.
Pronounced FIG-ee.
