Gilgenberg Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The surname Gilgenberg is derived from a name that goes back to two elements. The first of them is the German word hilgen, which means 'holy' in German. The second part, berg, means 'mountain'. Most likely, the name 'Gilgenberg' was given to a man who lived near a place that was called Hilgenberg or the 'Holy Mountain'. The initial G is due to Russian influence, since Russian has no H and alters H to G or Xh in borrowed words and names.
