You might not find a meaning for all surnames.  Back in the English/Irish, etc history there were no last name and men were called something like Robert ap Wilson ap John, meaning Robert the son of Wilson who was the son of John.  When last names were given it was a free-for-all and some chose something like their first name (Johnson) )Wilson) or they took the name of their town or providence.
