Surnames?

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

Does anybody know of a surname database similar to the many baby names ones? I've found a few, but all of the ones I've seen only allow you to browse the entire index of names, or to search for information on a particular name.

Ideally what I would like is one with a feature where you can search for a meaning, and all of the names with that meaning come up. Does something like that even exist?

Well, I only noticed it about a year ago. It's been around since 2002 though, apparently. I was surprised I didn't notice it sooner since Behind The Name is my all-time favorite web resource for names.
