Is there a website or book that lists what ethnicity people's surnames are?

I would like to look up a certain surname to see what ethnicity it is and I don't know where to start. For example, the surname "Jensen" is either Swedish or Danish. Can anybody out there please help me out? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

1. Try the "origin of the surname" search on this page: http://www.searchforancestors.com/surnames/origin/a/
2. I use house of names quite a bit and have found it to be very helpful. http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp/sId./qx/default.htm just type in the last name in the search box on the upper left. Hope this helps you
