Etymology
Gutenberg comes from a German family name made of Guten 'good' and berg 'mountain', so it literally means 'good mountain'. Johannes Gutenberg was the man who invented the printing press, and because of him 'Gutenberg' now names the man himself or things linked to his work, like the Gutenberg Bible.
