Meaning & Origin
Faigy is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a Yiddish diminutive of Faige or Feige, from the Yiddish meaning 'bird' or specifically 'fig tree,' connected to the Hebrew tena (fig). It has been used in Ashkenazi Jewish communities for generations as a warm, familiar given name.
Faigy has the intimate, home-kitchen warmth of Yiddish nickname-names — it's a name for daughters loved fiercely in Orthodox Jewish families. Like Gitty, Chany, and Raizy, it carries centuries of Yiddish culture in a handful of letters. Simple, sweet, and deeply rooted in tradition.
