Re: Faffelberger
in reply to a message by gogin
One would expect this to be derived from a place named Faffelberg but there's no such locality in Austria or anywhere else. However, the fact that there exists a variant Pfaffelberger makes it plausible that the origin is Pfaffenberg, a common placename in Austria and Germany.
