Gettin' Figgy With It

Today, while driving through Mount Crawford on the way to the Green Valley Book Fair, I passed Figgins Auto Sales. It had never occurred to me that fig would be a part of someone's name! 

Principal Figgins from Glee. 

 Figgins is a Saxon name and has been spelled many ways, Fig, Figg, Fygg, Figgess, and Figgins. Many notable Figgins include a type designer, an archaeologist, a winemaker, baseball, and most recently the comedic actor on Glee, Principal Figgins played by the actor, Pakistan-born Iqbal Theba.

No where does anything have anything to do with figs!
