Reply to: Help with meaning and origins of some male names by Winter Roisin
The following are self-explanatory (check in a good dictionary): Ballad, Birch, Falcon, Foxx, Obsidian, Reef(e), Ridge, Seven, Sun, Thatcher, Trapper.

Branigan - Irish, 'little crow' Bran + ic/ach + an (double diminutive ending).

Easton - 'east town'

Hann - form of John (Johannes) or Henry (often Hanry in the middle ages).

For the rest, check a good surname dictionary. Except for Dresden, which is a German place name.
