Figgins

Figgins is a surname. The name Figgins appears first in thirteenth century 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 1066AD).

The earliest records of the name in formal documents are sixteenth century, with increasing references in the seventeenth century as more and better records began to be kept (e.g. births, marriages, and deaths in local parish churches).
