Are Wiener and Weiner the same surname?

If I want a synonym for hot dog is it spelled wiener or weiner?

and how can I remember?

(just ask etymology corner)

The German word for wine is Wein, pronounced like our word vine. The vowel sounds like eye.

So Weiner in German is pronounced like Whiner, but it means man who sells wine. It's a fairly common surname.

In German Vienna is called Wien (pronounced veeeen. it rhymes with keen, mean, and green)

Vienna was famous for small sausages, which were sometimes known as Wieners, Vienna sausages, or hot dogs.
