Etymology of Weinburg

What does the name Weinburg mean?

The Jewish name Weinburg 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 Weinburg surname. Additionally, many Jewish Weinburg name bearers derived this name from the towns of Wyntbark, a suburb of Danzig in Eastern Europe, or the village of Weinberg in Morovia.
