Sigmar is in Origin.
Sigmar is a Germanic masculine given name formed from sig/sieg “victory” and mar “famous, renowned” (Old High German mari, from a Proto-Germanic root meaning “fame”). The combined sense is “victory-famous” or “famous for victory.” Early attestations appear in medieval charters as Sigimar and Sigemar (Latinized Sigemar(us)/Sigmarus), and a Norse cognate Sigmarr is also recorded. In modern German usage it alternates with the spelling Siegmar.
The name has been used primarily in German-speaking Europe, with modest 19th–20th century revival. Contemporary recognition comes from figures such as the painter Sigmar Polke and politician Sigmar Gabriel. Variants and related forms include Siegmar, Sigimar, Sigemar, Sigmarr, and the broader “Sig-” family (Siegfried, Sigmund, Sigismund). Diminutives like Siggi or Sigi occur in German. Sigmar carries a strong, traditional profile anchored in the early Germanic naming custom of invoking victory and renown.
