A polish or german name with others derivations as Stigar, Sztigar, Sztygar, Estigar, Estigara, Stigara, Stigare.
Stygar probably is a variant of Sztygar, a word meaning "foreman," especially in mines. This term comes from
German, and is comparable to the
German names Stieger, "one who lived by a mountain path," and Steiger, literally "climber." So this could be the German name rendered in Polish spelling, or it could be a Polish name from a Polish word borrowed from
German. Either way, the ultimate origin is
German. The form Stygar is most common in
Poland -- as of 1990 there were 310 Poles with that name. The largest numbers were in the provinces of Krosno (126) and Rzeszow (29), with smaller numbers in several other provinces, mostly in southeastern Poland, which is quite mountainous.
