Is there a website to give details about last names?

I’m curious about where I can find a website in which gives relatively good detail on the heritage of a last name; where it came from, what it means, who the ancestors are. I know there is ancestry.com, but that costs money. Money that I don’t have right now. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of websites out there. Ancestry.com is not worth it. They give you the same information other websites give out for free.

good luck on your search.
