So the villagers of "Fucking" got together to pitch ideas for a new village name that couldn't be made fun of, and they settled on... "Fugging"?

It's probably the village's name in the local dialect.

There is also another town called fugging on another part of austria, that used to be spelled fucking but changed name more than a century ago. Language drift seems a reasonable guess.

Perhaps it's just not a uncommon kind of name in that part of Europe? For example, there's the historically significant and wealthy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugger_family which contains such august names as "Prince Hubertus Fugger von Babenhausen".
