Sigler
A surname most likely linked to an occupational name for a maker or user of sigils or seals, though its exact origin is not fully certain.
The #3,956 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 34,336 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Sigler is most likely a surname of Germanic shape, probably related to words for a seal, sign, or sigil. In that reading, it would have begun as an occupational or descriptive name for someone associated with sealing documents, making marks, or similar work. It may also be a later Americanized form of a German surname with a similar sound, rather than a single fixed medieval spelling.
History
The name appears in English-speaking countries, especially the United States, where it is found in families of German or German-American background. Because spellings were often adjusted after immigration, Sigler can sometimes represent a simplified or altered form of an older surname. The exact pathway is not always clear, so family histories may differ from one line to another.

Fun fact
Surnames that look very similar often ended up merged in records, so one modern Sigler family may not share the same origin as another.
