Surface Forms

siggy singular
siggies plural

Morphology

siggy = sig (semi-transparent) = sig + y

The word is built from the clipped form sig plus the informal suffix -y, so the relation to signature is recognizable but colloquial.

Etymology

Siggy is a friendly, informal form of signature that comes from the short written mark sig, like a 'sign' at the end of a message. So a siggy is an easy way to say the small personal sign people add to emails or posts.
