Arnold,
The YIVO Encyclopedia online has an excellent article on Jewish personal and family names in Eastern Europe: https://yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/names_and_naming
JewishGen too has a number of info files on names: https://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/
The ANU Museum in Israel (formerly Beit Hatfutsot) has a long article about Jewish family names and a database into which you can enter names and see information about them: https://www.anumuseum.org.il/databases/family-names/jewish-family-names-introduction/ And of course there are Dr. Alexander Beider’s comprehensive books on names in various regions, which are not online but which you could perhaps find in a library or for sale. The above sources should answer most if not all of your questions. All the best, Miriam Bulwar David-Hay, Raanana, Israel.
