Etymology of EichelbergWhat does the name Eichelberg mean? The name Eichelberg, which is a local surname, reveals that the original bearer of the name once lived, held land, or was born in this beautiful region of Thuringia, which is located between Hessen and Lower Saxony in the west and Saxony in the east. During the 2nd and 3rd centuries, Thuringia was a kingdom of the Germanic Hermunderen, but the land was conquered by the Franks and the Saxons in the mid-6th century. Thuringia was brought under the rule of Franconian counts by Charles Martel and Charlemagne founded the Thuringian Mark in 804 as a defensive region against the Slavs. Thuringia's history has been closely associated with that of Saxony. In the late 15th century, Thuringia was divided into four main principalities: Sachsen-Weimar, Sachsen-Altenburg, Sachsen-Coburg, and Sachsen-Meiningen. Thuringia retained its independent status until it became a part of the German Empire after the Unification of 1871. Early Origins of the Eichelberg familyThe surname Eichelberg was first found in Thuringia, a land in Saxony, where this family name became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times.
