www.cyndislist.com has loads of resources, broken down by topic and locality. Check out what she shows for Belgium, as well as what she has for Ukraine. This is an excellent way to network with persons working those localities, and can be very knowledgeable. And btw... even those with "common" names are not always accurate. Many people here try two or three different sites, and find each site offers a different meaning. Gentle hint.. don't assume that a name has a meaning.

Im sure there are a lot of google sites out there. I went to this one in particular. It wasn't able to help me at this time. (My last name is pretty unusual), but maybe it can help you. http://www.surnamedb.com/index.aspx
