Tour Scotland video of the James Smith gravestone in the Auld Aisle cemetery on ancestry visit to Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire. Smith is an Anglo Saxon name. The name was originally given to a metalworker, the blacksmith. It is derived from the Old English word smid, probably derived form "smitan," which meant "to strike with a hammer." As metal worker was such a common and important profession in Medieval times, this name and its cognates are extremely widespread throughout the British Isles and Europe. The surname Smith was first found in Durham, in present day Northumbria, in North Eastern England.
