Smith Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Meaning, Origin, Etymology
The surname of Smith is of Anglo-Saxon origin meaning ‘to smite or strike’,  The name refers to a smith, originally deriving from smið or smiþ, 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” = to hit). The different derivations of the surname Smith are an occupational name for a man who worked with metal (smith or blacksmith), other variants of this name are such as a man who worked with gold may have been called goldsmith.   Originating in England it is one of the most prominent (if not the most) in the world. From the book “An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names. With an Essay, on their Derivation and Import. By: William Arthur, M.A.” the following captions are taken and produce a bit of insight into the surname of Smith. (1) SMITH. The most common of all surnames, and might of itself furnish matter enough for a volume. The word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Smitan, to smite or strike. (2) The New York City Directory for 1856 (in which the names of the heads of families only, are given,) contains the names of more than eighteen hundred Smiths, of whom seventy four are plain James Smiths, and one hundred and seventeen, John Smiths !  (3) This numerous family is the subject of many laughable anecdotes and witty sallies. A wag, on a certain occasion, coming late to the theater, and wishing to get a seat, shouted at the top of his voice, ” Mr. Smith’s house is on fire !” The house was thinned five per cent., and the man of humor found a snug seat. (4) But the best piece of humor relating to the name is the following which we take from Lower, which appeared some years since in the newspapers, under the title of “THE SMITHS. ” Some very learned disquisitions are just now going on in the journals touching the origin and extraordinary extension of the family of ‘ the Smiths: ” Industrious explorers after derivatives and nominal roots, they say, would find in the name of John Smith a world of mystery; and a philologist in the Providence Journal*, after having  written some thirty columns for the enlightenment of the public thereanent, has thrown down his pen, and declared the subject exhaustless. ” Erom what has hitherto been discovered, it appears that the great and formidable family of the Smiths are the veritable descendants, in a direct line, from Shem, the son of Noah, the father of the Shemitish tribe, or the tribe of Shem ; and it is thus derived Shem, Shemit, Shmit, Smith. Another learned pundit, in the Philadelphia Gazette, contends for the universality of the name John Smith, not only in Great Britain and America, but among all kindred and nations on the face of the earth. Beginning with the Hebrew, he says, the Hebrews had no Christian names, consequently they had no Johns, and in Hebrew the name stood simply Shem or Shemit; but in the other nations John Smith is found at full, one and indivisible. Thus, Latin, Johannes Smithius ; Italian, Giovanni Smithi; Spanish, Juan Smithas; Dutch, Hans Schmidt ; French, Jean Smeets ; Greek, Τζον Σμιθ  ; Russian, Jonloff Skmittowski ; Polish, Ivan Schmittiwciski ; Chinese, Jahon Shimmit; Icelandic, Jahne Smithson; Welsh, lihon Schmidd ; Tuscarora, Ton Qa Smittia ; Mexican, Jontli FSmitti. “And then, to prove the antiquity of the name, the same savant observes, that ‘ among the cartouches deciphered by Rosselini, on the temple of Osiris in Egypt, was found the name of Pharaoh Smithosis, being the ninth in the eighteenth dynasty of Theban kings. He was the founder of the celebrated temple of Smithopolis Magna.’ We heartily congratulate the respectable multitude of the Smiths on these profound researches researches which bid fair to explode the generally received opinion that the great family of the Smiths were the descendants of mere horse-shoers and hammer-men !”
