In the United States, we don't pay much attention to the meaning of names. "Daniel" is a name from the Old Testament and it means "God is my judge," but if I introduce myself, nobody ever thinks "God is my judge." They are more likely to wonder whether I was named after Daniel Boone ("frontiersman" and culture hero), Danny Kaye (singer/actor/entertainer popular around the time I was born), or Danny Thomas (because nobody remembers Danny Kaye).

"Smith" is one of a large number of names that represent occupations. A smith is someone who shapes hot metal at a forge. It's the same name as "Herrera" in Spanish. In the Middle Ages, people would have referred to by first name + description. Daniel the smith, Daniel the carpenter, Daniel the farmer, Daniel the arrow-maker, Daniel the barrel-maker, Daniel the son of Robert. Over time these evolved to Daniel Smith, Daniel Carpenter, Daniel Farmer, Daniel Fletcher, Daniel Cooper, Daniel Robertson.
