Figgins

Figgins is a surname. The name Figgins appears first in 13th century Wiltshire, England, and may have Norman roots (many of the peoples of medieval England by this time had ancestors who came across to England with the Norman invasion of 1066 AD).

According to genealogists, the surname Figgins also exists as a permutation of the Irish Gaelic Ó hUigín (from Vikings) and Ó Faodhagáin or Ó hAodhagáin (descendant of Egan), from which Fagan, Feagan, Wiggins, Higgins and many others also derive, as a result of the Anglicization of the name.
