origin. It comes from the German personal name ''Seibert'', which is derived from one of three related "battle names" which were originally spelled ''Siegfried'', ''Siegbert'', and ''Sigismund''; translating as "Victory-Peace", "Victory-Bright", and "Victory-Strength". ''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. 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".
