As a German name SENGE(R) can have various derivations:

1. Middle High German "senge" ("ripe for cutting") referring to the corn; this would be a name for a farmer

2. German "sengen" ("burn") for someone clearing a forest by burning

3. Middle High German "senger" ("singer", High German "Sänger" with an A umlaut)
