In the original version, Cifer is written as "Seifer." Seifer could be based on the Semitic root s-y-f, seen in Arabic سيف (Seif), Hebrew סיף (Sayif), and Maltese Sejf, all meaning "sword" or "saber." "Seifer" is also a variant of the German name Siegfried, which translates to "victory" and "peace."
"Almasy" might originate from the common Hungarian surname Almásy (pronounced [ɒlmaːʃi]), meaning "related to or from [the land of] apples." The word "Almasy" is the English transliteration of the Persian term الماسی (having the same pronunciation), meaning "related to or referring to diamonds." Converting Seifer's Triple Triad card results in Diamond Armor, although in the German version, it was changed to Platinum.
In the German version, he is written as "Cifer." Cifer might come from "Chiffre," a type of encryption or secret writing that is usually difficult to read or understand without the original author's clues. The spelling was likely changed because "Seifer" resembles the German word "Seife," meaning soap.
