Schmied is a surname of German origin^[3]. It's meaning is derived from the German word Schmied, which is a smith (of tin, gold, silver, or other metal). Common variations are Schmitt, Schmit, Schmidt, and Smith.^[1]

Changes over time

Smith was often used as a replacement for names that were difficult to pronounce when immigrants went through customs in the 1800s. Hence, many Smiths are not Smiths at all. Another commonly changed name was Schneider, which was often changed to Snyder. Some, however, elected to do so willfuly to "blend in" more^[2].
