  1. you might try searching the inet for a surname index by country or region, cross referencing the surname with country/region, origin. also many surnames have variations of spelling/pronounciation, in the same country/region, so add the words  earliest or oldest form, to your search. good luck.


  2. The first link is very, very interesting. I hope it helps you. The further you scroll, the better it gets.

    The second link may be more of what you are looking for.

    But, I think we have hit the jackpot with link #3! This one has all you are looking for. I hope that if this is for a homework assignment, you get an A! Good Luck and God Bless you!!

  3. You can try houseofnames.com.  Of course, there is no such list that would encompass the entire world; names are being created at a high rate of speed.
