Segal
Segal, and its variants including Segel and some families with Siegel (see Siegel), is a primarily Jewish family name.
== Etymology ==
The name Segal has been said to be derived either from Hebrew ''segan leCohen'' (assistant to the Cohens)〔The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion ed. Adele Berlin - 2011-p3 "Various family names are derived from abbreviations; for example, Katz (kohen tsedeq (priest )) and Segal (segan leviyyah (aide )). Abbreviations or acronyms were commonly employed in Talmudic literature as an exegetical ..."〕〔Jewish Budapest: Monuments, Rites, History ed. Kinga Frojimovics, Géza Komoróczy - 1999 p190 "Siegel / Segal / Segall / Chagall, etc.: segan levayya, leader of the Levites (sagan is a loanword from Ancient Mesopotamia, Sumerian and Akkadian, originally denoting a dignity).〕〔Ladies' Home Journal Vol.90 page liii ed. Newell Convers Wyeth - 1973 "Thus descendents of Ben Rabbi Judah Lowe became Brill; Segan Leviyyah became the surname Segal or Segel."〕 although a minority of sources claim that "Segal" is an abbreviation for ''segan le-kehunah'' (assistant to the priest) instead.〔Precious possessions: treasures from the Library of the Sharon Liberman Mintz, Elka Deitsch, Havva Charm - 2001 p38 "... pouring water from a pitcher into a laver. This illustration is a visual reference to the Levitical ancestry of the family of the bridegroom whose surname (Segal) is a standard Hebrew abbreviation for segan le-kehunah (assistant to the priest)."〕 However, early appearances of the name as ''šēgal'' or ''šāgal'' in Palmyrene inscriptions suggest these are folk etymologies and its ultimately derivation is as a loanword from the Assyrian title 𒊩𒂍𒃲 ''issu ēkalli > (is)sēkalli'' "queen" (literally "palace woman"), borrowed from Akkadian into Aramaic and Hebrew as the divine and personal name שֵׁגַ֥ל, including in the Hebrew Bible (e.g. Psalm 45:9).
