Derived from the ancient profession of iron working and found in other European languages as Fereira in Portuguese and Schmidt in German. The Irish version is often spelt Smyth with or without an 'e' on the end. P.G. Wodehouse created his famous character Psmith with a silent 'p' to distinguish what is probably the most common British surname.
