Meaning & History

German/Russian/Ashkenazi Jewish this surname derived from the very popular personal name siegfried, introduced for the first time inglaterra in the Anglo-Saxon period, and again as a surname thousand years later. The latter was during the nineteenth century possibly as a result of greater Anglo-German cooperation with the accession of the Hanoverian dynasty to the British crown.
