Rosenberg

Rosenberg is a toponymic and ornamental surname of German and Jewish (German-speaking) origin. Its literal meaning is "rose mountain," derived from the German words Rose ("rose") and Berg ("mountain"). The name likely originated as a geographic surname for someone who lived near a mountain or hill where roses grew, or it may have been adopted ornamentally by Jews in the late 18th and 19th centuries, when many Ashkenazi Jews were required to take surnames; names invoking positive natural imagery like flowers and mountains were common.
