ArchivesLooking for the meaning of name : Seifer; german in origin
Can't find it anywhere... Seifer, know it's german. I heard Seif is arabic for "sword" but that's the closest I got. Thanks for any help you can offer.

According to Hanks & Hodges…
As a Jewish surname, Seifer may be derived from the surname Soper, indicating someone who manufactured soap. The name reflecting the Yiddish pronunciation of "soap".
Seifer is more likely, however, to be a derivation of Siegfried, a German name combining the elements of "sigi" ("victory") and "fridu" ("peace").
