i want to find a meaning of
two surnames of german physicist:
HEISENBERG and SCHRÖDINGER.

---

First, 'HEISENBERG' is surname of
Werner Heisenberg(1901–1976),
who was awarded the Nobel Prize
for the creation of quantum mechanics,

---

i already knew what 'BERG' means,
that means hill or mountain,
but i don't get it what 'HEISEN' means.

---

and 'SCHRÖDINGER'is
surname of 'Erwin Schrödinger'(1887-1961)
he was born in Austria, and
also known for "Schrödinger's cat".

---

and i was confused of meaning of
that surname because
looks like a Two surnames...

'SCHRÖDER'(occupational name of "tailor",
or variant of SCHRÖTER,
introduce next sentence)

---

or 'SCHRÖTER'(occupational surname,
meaning "a carrier of wine or beer barrels")

with 'DINGER'(occupational surname of "judge", "arbiter")

---

seem to be combined.

---

does anybody know what
these surname's real meaning
and respond this question, please?
