Lindberg name--a farm name or family name or an area?

[Linda Swanson]

Am researching my g-g-grandmother's family who came from Gotland.  Her last name was Lindberg.  She came from Hejdeby Parish and her father Petter Lindberg came from Barlingbo Parish.  Would the Lindberg name be a family name, a farm name or an area in Gotland?  Thank you. Linda

Linda,
 
Lindberg is supposed to be the most common name in Sweden after the names with the ending -son (former patronymics). So it is usually not connected to a farm, an area or something like that.
