Meaning & History
Derived from Old High German #sigu# "victory" (a younger form of Gothic #sigis#, see SIGISBERT) combined with #rîcja# "powerful, strong, mighty." The second element is also closely related to Celtic #rîg# or #rix# and Gothic #reiks#, which all mean "king, ruler." Sigeric was the name of a 5th-century king of the Visigoths.
