Sedgbeer Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps from Sedgeborough in Clatworthy (Somerset) though this cannot be certain as no medieval evidence for the place-name has been found and it is therefore not possible to suggest an etymology for the place-name. Alternatively the surname may be from Sedgeberrow (Worcs) which is recorded as Secgesbearuwe in a 12th century copy of a document from 964; the bearer Richard de Segesbarwe 1344 in Patent Rolls (Winchcombe Gloucs) provides medieval evidence for a surname from this place which could then have become established in Somerset and Devon due to migration. The place-name derives from the Old English personal name Secg (genitive Secges) + Old English bearu ‘wood grove’.
