Sallwasser:

I'm not sure about the first part of the word. Maybe it has got something to do with "Salz" = salt or "Sal(-weide)" = sallow [tree]. The second part of the word "Wasser" = water.

Salzwedel:

Salzwedel is a place name in Sachsen-Anhalt in Germany. "Salz" = salt, "wedel" is said to be related to the German word "waten" = to wade.

Hellewege:

German surname which derives from the German first name "Hellwig" which is a newer form of both "Helmwig" = helmet + battle and "Heilwig" = healthy, hale + battle.

Zellweger:

Zellweg is a place name meaning "small chamber, small monastery" + "way, path". Zellweger means: coming from or belonging to Zellweg.
