Origin: Seibert has it's origins as a Germanic Patronymic name. It has 40 some-odd variations in spelling and pronunciation. It's original spelling came from two root words, 'siege' and 'beraht', meaning 'victorious & brilliant one, famous'. These two words combined, create the earliest common form of 'Siegbert'. Before World War I and during the Austrian Monarchy, it 'became' predominitely a 'Jewish' name, and for that reason was eventually avoided by non- Jews. It is often confused with the more common name of 'Siegfried', which means 'victory & peace'. Names such as these are cate- gorized as the 'victory' names, used to depict terms of battle or warfare.... Siegbert: Victory-Bright Siegfried: Victory-Peace Sigismund/Sigmond: Victory- Mountain These names are now commonly depicted as Seibert, Siefert, Simmonds, & Simon.... As a Jewish name, these are possibly descriptive of the tribe of Simeon(Shimon)... commonly the Jews used the 1st sylabble of a German name to depict the tribe they were thought to be from, in this case the Hebrew letter 'Shin'.

Origin: The Surname Siebeneck is considered to be of German origin with many bearing the name in the Westfalen or Rheinhessen regions today. It has been catelogued in the Carantha Archives as early as 1366 and is used in village names such as Siebeneckskn?ll in the German province of Schlewig-Holstein. Fortunately, the Surname Siebeneck can be directly translated into English as the meaning of heptagon or seven-sided figure. The German word "sieben" holds the value of seven in English while the German "eck" represents the English "corner". In fact, adding "eck" to various numbers produces figures of geometry in German. For example, a "viereck" (four-corner) translates to English as a square. Some known variations in spelling of the name are Sieveneck, seveneck and Siebenech.
