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.
