Best Answer

Upon his birth, Joseph Smith was named Joseph Smith. Throughout his life he was called Joseph Smith, Jr. because his father's name is also Joseph Smith. His son was named Joseph Smith, III. His enemies often referred to him as Joe Smith. This was intended to be very disrespectful, and it was often offensive.

Joseph F Smith's full name was Joseph Fielding Smith (yes, there are two of them) but the one I believe you are referring to was the sixth prophet of the Mormon church. He was Joseph Smith Jr.'s (the first prophet of the church) nephew, as Hyrum Smith, Joseph's older brother, was his father. His mother was Mary Fielding, whom Hyrum married after the passing of his first wife, Jursha, when she came to America from England after having converted to the Mormon faith.
