Meaning and background
The story behind Figgy
Figgy has a direct food-word association: Merriam-Webster records something containing or resembling figs. That gives a household a concrete reason for a fruit-inspired dog name without requiring it to be a diminutive of Fig or another personal name. A remembered pudding or recipe may supply the personal story. The source supports the adjective itself, with any specific culinary memory belonging to the owner's choice.
