Etymology

Germanic name of origin not having an equivalent in French. One raises Truobenbach and Truebenbach in 1303, Druobenbach in 1362, Druegenbach with the XVe century, Trembach in 1523, Trumbach in 1596, Druenbach and Trimbach in 1603, Trimbach with the XVIIIe century. The suffix " in Val" go back to 1946 to avoid a confusion with Trimbach close to Wissembourg. The Prefix " Truob" first C-W communication does not mean dirty or impure, but would be rather synonymous with " lichtlos" or " düster" , that is to say obscure or shaded. It would characterize thus the course of Eau crossing the village, as it is the case for several localities of the Valley.
