Is Sommersprossen a descriptive word, or a name, or both ?

I believe it's something to do with redhead women but I don't know if it's describing some feature of redheads, or is actually a last name aka surname aka family name, or if it can be both.

I've never met or dated a redhead woman.

It's a German word meaning "freckles". "Sommer" means summer, because freckles are more prominent in summer.
I have Sommersprossen in summer around my nose 😏

@helenS Thankyou. On Pinterest where I came across is there are whole sections dedicated to redheads and I keep seeing that word with other words in front of it so was curious if they're names. I guess not. Words like 'Tolle' , 'Feine', etc.

@zonavar68 Oh, Sommersprossen are not limited to redheads! I have brown hair, and brown eyes. In winter my freckles are completely gone, only to reappear in spring. Must be the sunlight.
