Surname: Eisenberg

Recorded originally as Ysen and later Eisen, and meaning an iron worker, and with many compounds such as Eisesenberg, Eisenburg, (iron mountain) Eisenburger (one who came from Eisenberg in Thuringia), Eisenhower (a maker of eisenhauers, a special sword), Eisensmith (a worker in cold iron), and Eisenstadt, from a village of the same name in Austria. This is a surname of Germanic origins, meaning that it could be found in Germany itself, Austria, Switzerland and parts of Poland. It is medieval and one of the earliest of all German surnames being first recorded in the year 1331 with that of Johannes Ysenberg also recorded as Usenberg at Baden Baden whilst Hans Eysenburg, given as being a schuster or shoe maker, was recorded at Memmingen in 1497.

www.familysearch.org has these varied spellings:  ISENBURG; EISENBERGER; EISSENBERG; and  Von ISENBURG .

     It is shown listed from Germany, US (various states), Sweden, Denmark, Russia,  Poland, Australia,  Chile, Finland, Austria,  Netherlands, England,  and Israel.

     I also noticed some royalty listed in their early dates. Some are:

  1. Adele Countess Of ISENBURG--b. Abt 1194 in Prussia (or Germany); d. bef.  1258

2. Gerlach II, Count Of ISENBURG--b. abt. 1096 in Prussia.

3. Heinrich, Count Of ISENBURG --b.  1210 in Budingen, Oberhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt (Germany)

4. Adalbert, Prince Of ISENBURG --b. 1839 and direct descendant of #3. (Title went from Prince to Count/Countess)

(I noticed a lot of those with the titles of Count/Countess or Prince/Princess were related to the same families if followed back far enough, and if parents were listed.)
