Sigmon
A surname that likely began as a patronymic or altered form of a Germanic personal name, especially in North American usage.
The #5,973 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 53,602 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Sigmon is most likely an Anglicized surname built on a Germanic given name containing the element sig, meaning "victory." In many cases, names of this type developed from a shortened or altered form of a personal name such as Sigmund or a related German name, then became hereditary surnames after migration to English-speaking countries. The final - mon ending may reflect regional spelling change, surname simplification, or a local variant rather than a separate root word.
History
The surname is found mainly in the United States, where it appears to have developed through immigration and later spelling stabilization. It is especially associated with families of German or German-American background, though exact lines may vary and some branches could descend from different original surnames or spellings. Because the name is relatively uncommon, its recorded history is more limited than that of major surnames.
