Meaning & History

Gyburg is the female protagonist in Wolfram von Eschenbach's epic Willehalm. The first part of the name may be derived from gisal (see Giselle), wit (see Guido and Guy 1), or geba (see Gebhard); the second part is the well-known name element burg meaning "castle, protected place".

A contemporary bearer of the name is Gyburg Uhlmann, German classical philologist and winner of the Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz price.
