Meaning & History

Medieval French form of Wigburg and also of Witburg (via forms like Guitburg).

It is also possible that there are cases where Guibourg comes from a Germanic name that consists of the elements wîh meaning "holy, sacred" and burg meaning "fortress". This is because wîh as a first element is extremely hard to separate from wig as a first element, so whenever Wig- is possible for a name, then so is Wi(h)-.

Lastly, the name Guibourg is extremely rare in this day and age. One is much more likely to encounter it as a matronymic surname instead.
