Schwienbacher Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The name Schwienbacher comes from the Ulten valley in the province of Alto Adige in the north of Italy. It is a German surname, as this part of Italy once formed part of the region of Tirol in Austria.
To understand the meaning of this surname, it should be separated into two parts: schwien and bacher.
Schwien derives from schwinden, which means 'to disappear'.
Bacher derives from Bach, which means 'stream'.
It is believed that the name therefore means 'where the stream disappears'.
The meaning of the name is unclear, but as the valley Ulten is surrounded by mountains, there are many steams running down this valley, which at the end flow into the river Adige, which is a big river in the north of Italy.
