It means "a native of a village whose name refers to a ridge made of black rock."
Schwarzen = black
egg = ridge
-er = native of.
----------
Contrary to a popular myth, it does not refer to a "dark-skinned African."

While it could mean "person from Schwarzenegg," it could also mean "black[-haired] plowman or farmer."
