The meaning of Siggers
English (Essex and London): patronymic, with post-medieval excrescent -s, from the Middle English personal names Sigar, Siger, and Sigher, either from Old English Sigegār, ancient Germanic Sigger, or Old Norse Sigarr, Old Danish and Swedish Sighar, in each case from roots meaning ‘victory’ + ‘spear’. Middle English Seger, Segor may have been variants, leading to confusion with Seager, from Old English Sǣgār, in which the first element is sǣ ‘sea’. Compare Seago.
