Meaning & History

Meaning unknown. It is intended to be "ethnically ambiguous", but one theory suggests that it may be derived from the Spanish verb seguir meaning "to follow, to continue". This name was invented by the American author Cormac McCarthy for the villain in his novel No Country for Old Men (2005). The character was played by Spanish actor Javier Bardem in the subsequent movie adaptation (2007).
