Blacksmith Family History
Blacksmith Name Meaning
English: occupational name for a smith who worked in iron (‘black
metal’), as opposed to tin (‘white metal’). This was never established
as a surname in England or Scotland, which suggests that the name may
have been adopted in North America as a translation of an occupational
name for a blacksmith from some other language (see Smith).
