The surname Small has origins in various cultures, including Irish descent. In Ireland, surnames were typically derived from patronymics, occupations, or geographical features. The surname Small, in the Irish context, is believed to have derived from the Gaelic word smal, meaning smooth or bald. It is likely that the name was given to someone who had a smooth or bald head, or perhaps to someone who lived in an area with such a geographical feature.
As with many Irish surnames, the Small name has undergone variations over time. It is recorded in various forms such as MacSmall, Smale, Smalls, O' Small, and O'Smol; the prefixes Mac and O' denoting son of in Gaelic.
During the Irish diaspora, many Irish families emigrated to different parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. This migration was largely due to economic hardships and political turmoil in Ireland. As a result, the Small surname became more widespread outside of Ireland.
Today, descendants of Irish Small families can be found in different parts of the world. While the name's origins can be traced back to Ireland, it is important to note that the surname Small is not exclusive to Irish ancestry.
