Surnames: Heerdegen, Herdegen Submitted by: Heerdegen Origin of Ege, Meaning of Ege Origin: This surname came from shortening Stegenga. Surnames: Stege Submitted by: John and Sandra Origin of Ege, Meaning of Ege 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'.

In the states its been Toegel. Different Family members have given differing spellings Surnames: Taegel,Toegel,Togel Submitted by: D Birch Origin of Ege, Meaning of Ege Origin: The family name Siegrist occurs in variant spellings in the German language, as follows: Siecrist, Siegrist Siegerist, Sigeris, Sigeris, Siegeriss, Sigerist, Sigriz. (Cf. Gottschand, Deutsche Namenkunde, Munich, 1932.) The name of the early origin dating from the period when the family names (surnames) in Europe gradually came into existence; this period is after 1100, as prior to 1100 there were no family names in Germany. It is well known that the earliest appearance of family names in Germany is in Cologne and along the Rhine River. In Cologne family names appear for the first time in 1106, but as late as 1236 not all the citizens of Cologne had a surname in addition to their personal name (first name). The personal name in those early days was, as a rule, attached to that particular person for his life; when he or she died it did not continue to pass on through the line of his descendants as surnames do. In Switzerland, family names make their appearance in Zurich in 1145, and in Basel in 1168. This too was the general situation with reference to the time of the origin of family names in France and in England (Cf. for France, Moisy, Noms de Famille Normands, Paris, p. VI f.; for England, Bardsley, English surnames, London, p. 2 ff.) Linguistically the name Sigrist is not a German term. It is a transliteration or a phonetic spelling of the Medieval Latin sacrista, which appears in English as sacrist, which at times is used in the sense sacristan. The latter is a derivative from the Medieval Latin sacristanus, coming into English through the French sacristain. The sacristin in those early days was the one who had charge of the church edifice, or more particularly, of the robes and vestments, that is, of the ecclesiastical regalia which appertained to the ritualistic service in the church-edifice. The family name Siegrist accordingly belongs to that large class of German family names known as occupative names, that is, names derived from an occupation. Since Sigrist is a designation of an ecclesiastical official or of a verger, whose official functions were those named above, it would seem to follow that from an ecclesiastical viewpoint that family name was in the first place a Catholic name or the name of a Catholic. The origin of the name, as shown on documentary evidence, below, dates from the pre-Reformation period. How far back of or prior to the Reformation can only be a matter of conjecture. Though on the basis of the documentary evidence now available at can be stated that it dates from a time not earlier than 1100. As a matter of fact this name cannot be documented earlier that the year 1261.
