Ségolène

Ségolène, also Sigolène or Sigolina, is a French name, now solely feminine but previously, in the forms Ségolène, Sigolin or Sigolinus, also occasionally masculine. It is derived from a diminutive of Siga, a mediaeval hypocoristic of Germanic names having the first element Sig- (meaning "victory"). The rarer masculine form of the name was derived in the same way from the masculine hypocoristic Sigo. An alternative explanation of the feminine name is that it is the equivalent of the German name Sieglinde. The form of the name was apparently influenced by the similar Gaulish element Sego- ("victory" or "strength").
