Ginsburg Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
For Günsburg, q.v.
(German) One who came from Gunzburg, in Bavaria.
(from a place name) From Gunzburg, a town in Bavaria. The name was first assumed by Jews exiled from Bavaria in the sixteenth century. In 1804 many Russian Jews who had to assume family names selected the name Gunzburg in various forms, even though they were not related to the original family. The name had become popular in Russia because of the family of St. Petersburg bankers, philanthropists, and spokesmen for the Jewish community. There are records of some of the original bearers going to court to prohibit strangers from assuming the name. They did not succeed, however, and as a result thousands of families assumed the name Ginsburg.
Some Jews selected the name Gunzburg as a garbled version of Koenigsberg, formerly capital of East Prussia.
