Seiger Family History
Seiger Name Meaning
German: from Middle High German seiger ‘scales’ hence a metonymic occupational name for a tester of weights. The word later developed the meaning ‘clock watch’ and some examples of the surname may have arisen from a metonymic occupational name for a maker of timepieces. Jewish (Ashkenazic): metonymic occupational name for a watchmaker from Yiddish zeyger ‘watch clock’ (see 1 above).
