Etymology of FigarolaWhat does the name Figarola mean? The Galician/Portuguese name Figarola is equivalent in Spanish to "fig tree" and is derived from the Latin word "ficus" which denotes "fig" or "fig tree." By extension, it may be a metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of figs. However, some noted authors believe that Figarola is originally from Galicia, while others claim that Figarola comes from Portugal.
