The surname Schmitz has its roots in Germany, not Ireland. It is a variation of the common German surname Schmidt, which is derived from the Middle High German word smid meaning blacksmith. The name Schmidt was originally an occupational surname given to individuals who worked as blacksmiths or metalworkers. Over time, variants of the name emerged, including Schmitz, which is more common in the western regions of Germany, particularly in the Rhineland.
As for Irish descent, it is important to note that the Schmitz surname is not traditionally Irish. However, it is not uncommon for surnames to change or be adopted as families migrated and settled in new regions. It is possible that some individuals with Irish ancestry may bear the surname Schmitz due to intermarriage or other factors, but it is not specific to Irish descent.
In conclusion, the surname Schmitz has its origin in Germany and is associated with the occupation of a blacksmith. While there may be individuals of Irish descent who bear this surname, it is not inherently an Irish surname.
