The surname Lindberg is a local surname, derived from a nearby feature of the physical geography where the original bearer lived. This name is a topographic surname, as opposed to a habitation surname which is derived from an already existing place name. The Lindberg family name is derived from the German word "linde," which means "lime tree," and "berg," which means "hill." The original bearer was named for his proximity near a hill crowned by lime trees.
