What are the kanji for the meanings of these last names?

I can read hiragana %26amp; katakana, but I do not understand kanji. I wanted to make little cards for each of these names in kanji. First, what is the meaning of each Japanese name? Second, what is the kanji for each name (type it out)?

*Nagata


Nishihara


Nishikawa


Nishimoto


*Ogihara


*Oshiro





Thank you :)





* Especially these names.|||Aoyama
