Morphology

figgy = fig (semi-transparent) = fig + y

The formation 'fig' + '-y' is a recognizable diminutive/nickname pattern, but as a proper name the semantic link to the fruit is arbitrary.

Etymology

Figgy is often a friendly nickname that comes from the fruit fig, which is sweet and small, so a helpful way to remember it is to think of someone who is 'sweet' or loved. That's why Figgy is used as a warm, informal name among friends and family.
