Wisembach is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
The toponym Wisembach is of Germanic origin, deriving from High German wisa (cognate to modern German Wiese), denoting meadow. The Germanic hydronym
entered the French language via High German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form -bach and Romantic -bais.[2]
