Auerbach was originally a German-language generic toponym coming from Aue  + Bach, meaning "floodmeadow brook", that is, "a brook running through a flood-meadow". The name is used for many places and people.

The slavicized version of the name Auerbach is Авербах (Cyrillic alphabet) = Averbakh (Latin alphabet), which transliterates to the Hebrew alphabet as אוּרבּך.
