Siger is Germanic in Origin.

Siger is a Germanic masculine name built on the victory element sigi-/sigr (“victory”) combined with the army element harja-/heri (“army, warband”). In practice it functions as a shortened or contracted form of two‑element names like Old English Sigehere and Old High German Sigeher; medieval records often Latinize it as Sigerus. The core meaning is “victory for the army,” yielding senses such as “victorious warrior” or “triumphant leader.”

The name is documented in Anglo-Saxon and medieval Low Countries sources, borne by figures like Siger of Brabant (13th‑century philosopher) and Siger of Courtrai (astronomer). Variants and cognates include Seger, Segher, and Zeger (Dutch/Flemish), Sieger and Seeger (German), Sighere/Sigehere (Old English), and Latin Sigerus/Sigeri; English surnames Seager and Seeger share the same root. Related names that carry the victory element include Siegfried, Sigurd, Sigismund, and Sigrid.
