If you are just looking for the country of origin, this should help you, but if you are using this information to determine your ancestry, I'm afraid it won't help you that much. To take an extreme example, you could be 15/16ths Japanese or Indian or Irish and have a German surname.

Looking for the origin of a certain name is a common question here. And it's fine if that is all someone wants. But it does not tell you anything for certain. Good luck in your search. Blessings.
