With this one just type your name in the search bar on the left hand side and click search.

Be very careful. While looking up the origin of surnames, do not be taken in by surname product peddlers, like coats of arms.
They sell them solely on a surname which is not valid. Not everyone with the same surname is related. Actually the same surname can frequently come from more than one nationality.
