Small Family History

Small Genealogy & Family Tree

Small is a Scottish name from Renfrewshire, Scotland. It comes from the Old English word smal which means "thin," "narrow," and "little" and referred to someone of small stature. The earliest known ancestor--William Smale--was recorded in 1221. Roots for this name can also be found in England and Germany. The family motto is Ratione non ira which means "By reason, not by rage."

Other spellings include "Smal," "Smale," "Smalle," and "Smaile." Notable people with the surname include Scottish actress Sharon Small (About a Boy, Dear Frankie, Downton Abbey),  American actress Mews Small (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Man on the Moon, Sleeper), and American producer Edward Small (The Count of Monte Cristo, The Man in the Iron Mask, Black Magic). The first Smalls to come to America were Edward and Francis Small in Maine in 1620.
