ArchivesMeaning of Figaro
I am researching the name Figaro, as in the character in the opera, The Barber of Seville, but find only character information and the character Figaro is supposedly from the Catalan region of Spain.
Thanks,
Robin

The famous Barber of Seville's name, Figaro, is a Catalan variation of the Spanish surname "Figueroa", meaning one who came from the Spanish town of Figueroa ("fig tree").
