Smoker Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the smoker,' probably a maker of smocks, meaning shifts, &c.
Robert le Smoker, Somerset, 1 Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
William Smoker, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
John Smoker, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
(English) One who made or sold smocks, formerly a woman’s undergarment; one who cured fish or meat by means of smoke.
Mr. Ferguson thinks this name may be from the Anglo-Saxon smicere, elegant, polished; but the Danish form of the word, viz. smuk (fair, handsome, fine), would be nearer. Halliwell says, "At Preston, before the passing of the Reform Bill in 1832, every person who had a cottage with a chimney, and used the latter, had a vote, and was called a smoker." Smucker, Smock, Smoke are found as U.S. names.
