You may have better luck on the surnames board, here:

This is my information on it as a surname, easily found through google:
A Jewish (Ashkenazic) ornamental name composed of German Freude ‘joy’ + Berg ‘mountain’, ‘hill’.
Also a German habitational surname from any of several places named Freudenberg, from Middle High German vreude ‘joy’ + berc ‘hill’.
