According to the man page, figlet stands for "Frank, Ian and Glenn's LETters" after the creators, Glenn Chappell (who was the main programmer) and Ian Chai, and Frank, whose.sig (email signature) inspired the program.
The fonts for the program were inspired by various UseNet articles and signatures.
Figlet can read from standard input or accept a message as part of the command line.
