Another good resources is the Medieval Names Archive, particularly
the German section:

I'm not aware of any good online resources for German naming
practices and surnames. In the realm of books, Hans Bahlow's
_Dictionary of German Names_, which deals with surnames, has
been translated into English so is quite accessible. Josef
Brechenmacher's _Etymologisches Woerterbuch der deutschen
Familiennamen_ is also a good resource. Both these books should
be available at any good research library.
