Smith is an English-language surname originating in the British Isles. The name originally derives from smio or smip, the Old English term meaning one who works in metal, related to the word smitan, the Old English form of smite, which also meant strike (as in early 17th century Biblical English: the verb to smite meaning to hit). The Old English word smip comes from the Proto-Germanic word smipaz. Smithy comes from the Old English word smiooe from the Proto-Germanic smiojon.The use of Smith as an occupational name dates back to Anglo-Saxon times when inherited surnames were still unknown.

History And Origin English: occupational name for a worker in metal, from Middle English smith (Old English smi�°, probably a derivative of sm�«tan �€˜to strike, hammer'). Metalworking was one of the earliest occupations for which specialist skills were required, and its importance ensured that this term and its equivalents were perhaps the most widespread of all occupational surnames in Europe. Medieval smiths were important not only in making horseshoes, plowshares, and other domestic articles, but above all for their skill in forging swords, other weapons, and armor. This is the most frequent of all American surnames; it has also absorbed, by assimilation and translation, cognates and equivalents from many other languages (for forms, see Hanks and Hodges 1988)

notes

The Irish and Scottish name MacGabhann (from the Gaelic) was often Anglicized to Smith.
