Weg is the German equivalent of Way. Someone evidently decided to use the
German term, since the street was named after a German flower. The edelweiss
is a flower native to the Alps (not just in Germany), and English adopted the
German name for the flower.

Thanks everyone for responding. Thankfully it wasn't abbreviated. I'll

I need help with a street name. In Leavenworth, WA there is a street named
Edelweiss Weg that I want to add. Is Weg an abbreviation for something?
It will be tagged highway=service service=alley. Google translate doesn't
help.
If it is an abbreviation, should it be expanded as we usually do?
Weg is German, approximately means way. It's right as it is, no
abbreviation.
Funny though that it's outside of the German Sprachraum. Is Leavenworth a
town with a lot of German heritage?

FWIW, weg is also a Dutch word with the same meaning as the German one.
