Berlin

The name Berlin derives from the West Slavic dialect spoken by the people who now live in Berlin and may be related to the Old Polabian stem berl-/birl- (meaning 'swamp'). Since the prefix Ber- has the same pronunciation as the word 'bear' in German, a bear may likely be linked to the meaning of the name. The meaning of Berlin is 'borderline' and it is a boy's and girl's name of Germanic origin, although it might also have Jewish (Ashkenazic) roots. Berliner, Berling, Berlen, Burlin, Burling, and Barlin are all variations of the name. The Berlin surname, however, was first used in the German state of Bavaria sometime after the 12th century, when names were derived from trendy places, making Berlin a common surname in the area. One famous person with the last name Berlin is Irving Berlin, who was one of the most prolific American songwriters in history and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
