Etymology

Nurnberg ends with -berg, a German part meaning 'hill' or 'mountain', the same part you see in iceberg. One idea is that the first part was an old personal name, so a helpful way to remember Nurnberg is as 'someone's hill', which fits the city's medieval castle and old town built on a hill.
