Sigman
Sigman is most likely a surname that developed from a personal name, place name, or an altered form of an older European surname.
The #8,395 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 78,322 Americans shares it.
Etymology
No single origin can be established with confidence from the available evidence. In English-speaking countries, Sigman is often treated as an altered or expanded surname formed from a short personal name or from a Germanic name beginning with Sig-, from the old root for “victory.” It may also in some cases be a respelled immigrant surname, especially from German or Yiddish backgrounds.
History
The surname is relatively uncommon in the United States and appears to have multiple possible lines of origin rather than one clear source. In modern records it is found chiefly in the U.S., where some families likely inherited it through anglicization or simplified spelling after immigration.
