Risberg Family History
Risberg Name Meaning
Swedish: ornamental name from the placename element ris ‘brushwood’ (from placenames such as Risbäck and Risinge) + the ornamental element berg ‘mountain hill’. Norwegian: habitational name from a farmstead or any of several other places so named of the same etymology as 1 above. But in Trøndelag the farm name Risberg is most likely from Old Norse ris ‘ridge hill’ as the first element.
