Is the name Malburg a German name?

Answer 1

Yes it is !

This is quite a rare name. There are only 244 entries in the German telephone book. I thought it might be taken from the name of a town or village, but that is not the case.

It probably comes from the words "Mal" (to paint) and "Burg" (castle).

Many names have been created in this way over the centuries.

It usually indicates that the original holder of the name carried out a certain type of work.

In this case it is probably someone who painted murals or the multi coloured shutters that one finds on and in German castles.

Answer 2

Malburg is not a common German name. It does not appear in traditional German name databases. It may be a variant or a less common variation of a German name.
