Furgus is Gaelic in Origin.

Furgus is an uncommon modern respelling of Fergus, rooted in Gaelic Fearghus/Fearghas. The name joins Old Irish fer/Modern Irish fear “man” with gus “vigor, force,” yielding the sense “man of strength” or “virile one.” It traveled into Middle Irish as Fergus and into Scots and English with minimal change, while the Gaelic spellings retained the internal gh.

In myth and early history, Fergus was borne by the Ulster Cycle hero Fergus mac Róich, by Fergus Mór mac Eirc tied to the early kingdom of Dál Riata, and by several saints, notably an eighth‑century bishop in Scotland. The standard modern form is Fergus; Gaelic variants include Fearghus and Fearghas. Patronymics and surnames such as Ferguson and Fergusson derive from it. Nicknames include Fergie and Gus. As a given name, Furgus remains very rare and is usually treated as a variant or transcription of Fergus.
