기원 및 역사

Occupational surname derived from Old English 'smitan', meaning 'to strike' or 'to smite'. Originally denoted a worker of metal — specifically a blacksmith, goldsmith, or coppersmith — whose craft was essential to every medieval community. Its universal utility across trades explains why it became the most common surname throughout the entire English-speaking world.
