Segar is English, Germanic in Origin.

Segar is a rare English given name and surname with deep Germanic roots. In Anglo-Saxon sources it reflects Old English Sægar - sæ “sea” + gār “spear” - yielding the evocative meaning “sea-spear,” a maritime warrior’s weapon. In medieval Low Countries and German lands, close cognates like Segher/Seger derive from Proto‑Germanic elements sigi “victory” and heri/gar “army, spear,” giving an allied sense of “victorious spear” or “victory warrior.”

Attested in medieval rolls as Segar/Seagar, it later settled chiefly as a surname (noted bearers include herald William Segar and cartoonist E. C. Segar), but it occasionally appears as a given name in Britain and the U.S., often revived through the surname-as-first-name trend. Variants and related forms include Seagar, Seager, Seger, Segher, Seeger, and Siger; the feminine or unisex option Seager also occurs. Segar carries a crisp, historic sound and a bold, seaworthy or triumphant meaning.
