Siegfried Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Old German Sigifrith, compound of sigu ‘victory’ and frithja 'peace’. Occasionally used as a christian name in England since the end of the 19th C, no doubt under the influence of Wagner’s Ring (cf. Brunhild).
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Is, in Teutonic, ‘conquering peace,’ which sounds ambiguous. This is, properly, the German form, but the English Sigefrid is obsolete: and since Wagner’s opera, Siegfried, the German form has had some small success in England and America; the Great War has somewhat damaged it in England.
