Seibert

Seibert, originally spelled Siegbert, means "Victory-Bright", taken from the combination of two root words sigi and berht. Used as a last name it is often Ashkenazi Jewish (by adopting the German personal name as a surname) and is often a variant spelling of Seifert which is used as a Jewish acronym for Sefer Torah (Scroll or Scribe of the Torah). The Seibert/Seifert name may have something to do with the kabbalistic Sephirot, as well.

There are multiple surnames of the same derivation (sigi and berht) listed in the page "Siebert".

The Seibert family shield depicts a background azure, two Stars of David argent in the upper corners, and a chevron argent in the base. Heraldry books describe the six-pointed stars as "emblems of God", and the chevron is a symbol for "those who served under the roof of a house". The heraldic color silver depicts "purity", "sincerity", and "the moon". The colour blue depicts "royalty", "peace", and "heavenly ascent".
