Probably England. Anyone who was a "smith" was a person who made or repaired THINGS...such as goldsmith, silversmith, blacksmith.

The name orioginates in the English language and thus from England. However, many people now using the name, Smith, may not have an English heritage. Many people who emmigrated to English speaking lands and had names that mean "smith" in their native language took the surname "Smith" for use in their new homelands. Schmidt and its variants are German examples of this.
