According to Hanks & Hodges…As a Jewish surname, Seifer may be derived from the surname Soper, indicating someone who manufactured soap. The name reflecting the Yiddish pronunciation of "soap".Seifer is more likely, however, to be a derivation of Siegfried, a German name combining the elements of "sigi" ("victory") and "fridu" ("peace").-- Nanaea
