The surname Altenburg is not of Irish descent, but rather of German origin. Altenburg is a toponymic surname derived from the German words alt meaning old and burg meaning castle or fortress. It is believed to have originated from the name of a town or village in Germany.
The Altenburg surname can be traced back to the medieval era when surnames began to be adopted. During this time, people started to differentiate themselves by adding a locational or occupational element to their given names. Those who hailed from or had some association with the town or area called Altenburg would have adopted this as their surname.
As for its Irish descent, there is no historical evidence to suggest that the Altenburg surname has Irish roots.
