What are some examples of surnames written with hentaigana?
Rather than surnames, 変体仮名 were frequently used in names (specially female
names). Before 1948 there were a lot of women with 変体仮名 in their registered
names. After that it seems that the law for naming a child changed and
nowadays you can only use the registered かな and 漢字.

In this website you can take a look at a lot of registered 変体仮名 that were used
before. <https://www.benricho.org/kana/a.html>

About a specific 変体仮名 in a name, they are difficult to find but here is an
example.
