Segi is Basque in Origin.
Segi is a compact, multicultural given name with several plausible roots. In Yoruba, Sẹ́gì refers to prized deep-blue glass beads (aggrey), long associated with elegance and status; as a personal name in southwestern Nigeria, it tends to be feminine and conveys “precious/ornamental” connotations. Related Yoruba forms include Segilola (from Sẹ́gì lọ́lá, “beads are wealth”), with Segi used as a short form.
In the Romance/Germanic sphere, Segi can act as a pet form of Segismundo/Sigismund - borne by medieval rulers and saints - from Proto-Germanic elements sig “victory” and mund “protection,” giving “protected by victory.” Less commonly, Korean Segi (세기) is a modern unisex name whose sense depends on the chosen hanja, e.g., 世基 “world/foundation.” Variants and cognates include Segis, Sigi/Siggi, Ziggy, and Segilola; spellings without diacritics (Segi) are widespread in diaspora use.
Segi is far from common. In all, it turns up just 90 times, across 25 countries.
