Fuqua is a surname derived from a Franco-Germanic word meaning "guardian folk". The current spelling, and its variants Fuquay and Fewquay, are Anglicisations of the French Fouquet. Several Fouquets are known to have emigrated from France to the United States during the Huguenot period, including Guillame Fouquet, from whom the vast majority of the American Fuquas outside of Louisiana trace their lineage. The most common pronunciations are /few-kway/ or /few-kwa/.〔(Fuqua Family Genealogy )〕 == Notable Fuquas == *Antoine Fuqua, film director *Anjayla Fuqua, of Xenia OH Charles Fuqua (Charlie) Manuel, former MLB player and manager *Charlie Fuqua, member of The Ink Spots vocal group *Chris (Critter) Fuqua, musician, member of Old Crow Medicine Show *Don Fuqua, retired politician from Florida *John "Frenchy" Fuqua, American football player, notably for Pittsburgh Steelers *Galba Fuqua, defender in the Battle of the Alamo *Harvey Fuqua, singer and music industry executive *Henry L.
