Etymology of WeinbergWhat does the name Weinberg mean? The Jewish name Weinberg has several different sources. It is an ornamental combination of the elements "Wein," derived from the German for wine, and "berg," which denoted a hill. The name is also a topographic name for someone who lived near a vineyard, or an occupational name for someone who worked in one. The later two derivations are more often of the German rather than Jewish Weinberg surname.
