ArchivesRe: origin of surname Smarr
in reply to a message by shannyc
According to Ancestry.com and citing The Oxford Dictionary section on surnames,
Smarr (Smar) is Dutch, possibly from the German "Sigmar". Our genealogy and
DNA show mostly English and Dutch ancestry.

The Dictionary of American Family Names is a totally untrustworthy source. The surname Smarr is an alteration of Smaw as you can see at tinyurl.com/y9jqrn2h and Smaw is itself an alteration of Small as shown at tinyurl.com/ycebw9zr.
