— A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(English) belonging to Sebergham (Cumb.), 14th cent. Seburgham = (the Lady) Sæburg’s (or Sigeburg's) Home [the fem. pers. name Sǽburg is a compound of Old English sǽ, sea, and burg or burh, stronghold (if the name should be Sigeburg —there is no record suff. early to show which is the correct name-the first element is Old English sige, victory) :— + Old English hám, home, estate] But for the occurrence of the English local suff. -ham we would have been justified, considering the locality, in assuming the pers. name to be the common O.Scand. Sigborg or Sigbiörg (v. Seaber).
