Morphology

siggy = sig (semi-transparent) = sig + y

This is a common nickname pattern where a clipped base is made more informal with -y, but the exact name source is not fully predictable.

Etymology

Siggy is also used as a personal nickname for names that start with Sig-, such as Sigurd or Sigrid. The Sig- part comes from an old Norse word for 'victory', so siggy is a short, friendly form of those names.
