Surnames by C. Colombo |
Although it looks Spanish, this name is in fact Southern French (Occitan). Seguela is a variant of Segala which is locative. It means a place where "seigle" grows. My French dictionary tells me that seigle means "spurred rye", but I'm not much wiser. A type of grass I suppose.
