Sagal is a surname that also appears, less commonly, as a given name in various cultures. The spelling is found in multiple linguistic and cultural contexts, and the name does not have a single, unified origin. In onomastic usage, Sagal can arise in families with diverse heritage, including Jewish and Turkic-speaking communities, among others, and its specific roots can vary by lineage.

Notable people bearing the surname include Katey Sagal (born 1954), an American actress and singer known for television roles such as Peggy Bundy on Married with Children and the voice of Leela on Futurama. Another prominent bearer is Boris Sagal (1923–1980), a Ukrainian-born American television and film director who worked on numerous productions and was Katey Sagal’s father. The surname has also appeared in other public figures and private individuals across different regions, reflecting migration and cultural interchange.

In usage, Sagal is primarily encountered as a family name, with occasional instances of it being used as a given name, though this is relatively uncommon. The name does not designate a specific place, institution, or widely recognized concept on its own.
