Commentary on OT Names

I've heard a couple of speakers comment on the genealogies throughout the OT, and the ones who are really Hebrew-savvy have talked about the fact that some of the genealogies tell a story about the land those people were in. Is there a book or commentary that explicitly talks about this?

(Basic Hebrew Lexicons and Dictionaries seem to only give very concise meanings, like Adam = red, soil, or red soil. I'm not sure what that is supposed to imply).
