 >>>Siegel: a member of the tribe of Levi but not descended from Aaron, 
chosen to assist the Temple priests.

http://segal.org/name/  ==> The correlation between "Segal" and Levite 
has been blurred a bit over the centuries.  In English-speaking 
countries, Segal has been blurred with "Siegel" in the past century.  
In English, Segal is pronounced as "Seegl", sounding the same as the 
*unrelated* name Siegel, used by non-Levites.
