There are loads of websites. I just can't understand why you didn't undertake your own search, instead of asking on Yahoo! Answers. What is the meaning of THAT?

www.behindthename.com is pretty good for first names. It has a heap of them from all different countries with stats and popularity charts.
for surnames i'd just google them.
