Walburg Family History
Walburg Name Meaning
German: from a Germanic female personal name composed of the
elements wald ‘rule’ + burg ‘fortress’. St. Walburga
(died 779) was an English missionary who accompanied St. Boniface on
his mission to Germany, and became abbess of Heidenheim. Her cult
became very popular in northern Germany in the early Middle Ages, with
consequent effects on the frequency of the personal name. Her bodily
remains were later transferred to Eichstätt, according to legend on
1 May, which thus came to be known as Walpurgisnacht. This is
also the date of an extremely ancient pagan fertility festival,
welcoming the return of summer, and associated with witchcraft and
revelry.
