The last name; Schulenberg. German or Jewish?

-Versus the "burg" counterpart...I had a German ancestor who started out Hendrich Kastleburg, and ended up Henry Casselberry. His descendants used Cassel, Castle and Kassel for the first part of their surname, berg, burg, bury and berry for the last part. He used about 12 variations himself, over the course of the years.



Levi, Cohen and Cantor are the only predominately Jewish surnames. Surnames like "St. -----" ("St. John", for instance) are Christian. Any other European surname can be any religion. Any other surname can have spelling variations, too.
definitely German...my whole mother's side is German, and there are at least 5 family names that end in "Berg" which means mountain in German.

The names in my family i can think of are Rothberg (red mountain,) Eisenberg (iron mountain,) and Steinberg which means stone mountain.

My grandfather immigrated from Germany, and he told me the meanings of the family names...I don't think it's jewish because not one of my family members are jewish; and i have a HUGE family.

Hope this helps! =)

I think it's both. BTW -berg and -burg aren't variants of each other. Berg is German for mountain and burg comes from the German for town or city.
Probably both - German and Ashkenazic Jewish.
