Mrs. Figg

"Fig" means "not literal," and a fig leaf is something that conceals or camouflages. Arabella Figg keeps her identity a secret from Harry until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and is able to conceal herself in the world of Muggles.

Medieval Scottish name, probably a variant of Annabel. It has long been associated with Latin orabilis meaning "invokable, yielding to prayer", and the name was often recorded in forms resembling this. Unrelated, this was an older name of the city of Irbid in Jordan, from Greek Ἄρβηλα (Arbela).
