Heather:According to a website called CiudadFutura, the name is from Galicia in Spain.The surname spread throughout the peninsula after the reconquest of Spain.If you want more information, please check out:
http://www.ciudadfutura.com/
There, you will find "Tu nombre y tu apellido", click on "tu apellido".When you get there, it will show you the alphabet, click on F and pick Figueroa.You may also check, if available in your area, a book called Enciclopedia Heraldica y Genealogia Hispano-Americana by the brothers Alberto & Arturo Garcia Carraffa, published in Madrid in 1929.Here you will see the coat of arms and it may provide a more accurate source for the origins of the surname.Good luck!
