Smith - Full Article from Wikipedia - Click LA!!
Benefit to those who are too lazy to read it off wikipedia.. i shall cut out some of the interesting parts..
- Smith is the most common family name in the United States[1], the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, representing more than 1 out of every 100 persons in each of these countries. It is particularly prevalent among those of English descent [2], the name being English itself, but has often been taken by non-English natives or immigrants to the above countries in order to blend into the majority culture more easily.
- The name originally derives from smitan, the Anglo-Saxon term meaning to smite or strike
- To this day, it is not uncommon for persons in English-speaking countries to adopt the surname Smith in order to maintain a secret identity, when they wish to avoid being found by someone.
- Other languages with different words for the occupation of smith also produced surnames based on that derivation. For example, the Latin term for smith, Faber (also the root of the word "fabricate"), is the root of last names common in several parts of Europe. For example, the Italian version, Farrier, is the root from which family names such as Fabbri, Fabris, Ferraro and Ferrari are derived.
