==Toponym== The origin of the series of place names "Ahigal" is a place name created from a plant. Figal is used as a surname in Asturias: the figal is the fig tree; many variations still exist such as La Figar, La Figal or Figares in Asturian place names. Like in Latin, the feminine gender of the tree name is maintained.
