The name Smith refers to a man who smites or works metal.There is also
Brownsmith, one who works copper. Goldsmith, one who works gold and Silversmith,
one who works silver.

Someone who made things out of wood might be surnamed carpenter.
Someone who made or repaired wooded barrels might be called Cooper.

Place names also became surnames, such as Holland and Welsh.
