Goldberg Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Ger.) Gold Hill [O.H.Ger. gold + berg, hill]
Place name in Eastern Germany. Literally “Gold Mountain”.
(German) One who came from Goldberg (gold mountain), the name of five places in Germany.
(from a place name) or (from the name of a female ancestor) or (an invented surname) Goldberg is one of the most widespread Jewish family names. There is actually a place called Goldburgh in Silesia, where the first Goldberg lived more than six hundred years ago, and this is the source of the name. When the Jews were expelled from Silesia in the fourteenth century, a number of them took Goldberg as their family name. This, however, does not explain why there are more than 60,000 Goldbergs in the United States alone; they certainly are not all descended from those few families. Actually, the name was easily adopted by many others who had no relationship to the original Silesian Jews. Many Jews honored a matriarch by the name of Golda by assuming the family name Goldberg. Other matronymics for Golda are: Gold, Goldman, Goldner, Gilden, Goldbaum, Goldenbaum, Goldenberg, Goldblum, Goldbrunn, Goldfeder, Goldfish, Goldhaber, Goldheim, Goldhammer, Goldhirsch, Goldsand, Goldkorn, Goldkraut, Goldmark, Goldich, Goldreich, Goldschild, Goldschlag, Goldstadt, Goldstaub, Goldstern, Goldstrom, Goldenthal, Goldzweig, Goldblatt, Goldblitt, Goldfluss, Goldkrantz.
User-submitted Reference
The Goldberg family's roots are from Eastern Europe. The name meaning is "mountain of gold" (berg is mountain).
