I don't think it is an Irish name. I had a look at Ardfert and Aghadoe Wills
1690-1800 and sure enough there are two Segersons.One called Christopher
Segerson of Iveragh whose will was dated 1774 and a second called Thomas of
Ballynskellix [sic] dated 1777. On neither of these is there a probate date.
Also in the Index to Prerogative Wills of Ireland 1536-1810 there is aJohn
Segerson of Ballinskelligs dated 1768.

Segerson or sometimes spelled Sigerson is found in Kerry.

Mainly in the Ballinskelligs, Caherciveen, Portmagee areas of Kerry.

Segerson, from the Norseman Sigurd, who fell at Clontarf battle.
The family were merchants at Liverpool, Bristol, Dublin, Cork, etc.,
1000-1600.
Richard Harding had a grant of Ballinskelligs abbey which he passed to Chris
Segerson of Dublin in 1615 with Kinard, Dungegan, etc.,
In 1653 Chris of Valentia Island and Richard of Ballinskelligs were
confiscated, and Thomas Heir of Chris had a lease in 1697 from Henry Petty.
There are over 50 Segerson records on www.familysearch.org
some with LDS submissions.
Check the Ancestral and Pedigree files on LDS site.
There is the Sigerson Arms in Ballinskelligs.
