Melberg Family History

Norwegian: habitational name from a farm name in southwestern Norway, originally Meðalberg in Old Norse, from meðal ‘middle’ + berg ‘rock’, ‘hill’, ‘cliff’. Swedish: possibly an ornamental name with the same etymology as 1, or from an unexplained first element (perhaps a place name element) + berg ‘mountain’, ‘hill’.
