Etymology of Hirshberg

The name Hirshberg is an extension of the name "Hersch" ("hart") which is a "kinnui" of the Hebrew "Naphtali." A "kinnui" is a sign or symbol of a name as, for example, "Lion," or "Leo," for Judah. Most of the variations, then, are patronyms, meaning they were names given to descendants of the originator of the name. The name "Hirsch" also means "deer," so the surname Hirschberg means "deer hill," and no doubt became a common European placename.
