Why don't you list the names and let us tell you where they are from.

You can try houseofnames.com also ancestry.com If your family has been in the same area for a long time you could try the local historical society and look at newspaper clippings and birth/death records and try to trace it back to the origins.

Try a web search with the keywords "origin" and "last name." You'll get a lot of sites that try to provide what you need. One of them is http://genealogy.about.com/library/surnames/bl_meaning.htm
If none of these help you, try to search for the last name directly. For example, if you search for "smith name origin" in Google, you'll get http://genealogy.about.com/library/surnames/s/bl_name-SMITH.htm as a first hit.

There are genealogical websites where that is discussed.
