Variants, and false cognates

Other variants may routinely include Siegelman, Siegle, Sigl, and

ethnic Jews who changed the spellings of their surnames in the course of assimilating among other cultures: "Segal" and "Segel" are false cognates
to Siegel, usually having derived from Latin America, where the double vowel did not translate into pronunciation.

Most sources indicate that it derives from the Hebrew acronym סגל[

to whom?] to be a specifically Romanian
spelling variant.
