Sigebert is Germanic, Old English, Old High German in Origin.
Sigebert is a Germanic male name built from the compound elements *sigiz, victory, and *berhtaz, bright or shining. In early medieval records it appears in Latinized Frankish forms such as Sigebertus and Sigibertus, while Old English preserves the cognate Sigeberht. The second element, later seen as -bert in many continental names, reflects the same root as Old English beorht.
The name was carried by Merovingian rulers, notably Sigebert I of Austrasia in the sixth century, and by several Anglo-Saxon kings and churchmen whose names were written Sigeberht in Old English sources. Continental usage continued in German Siegbert and Sigisbert, with Romance forms including Sigiberto. In modern English it is chiefly historical, encountered more often in medieval history than in contemporary birth registers.
Sigebert is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
