Coppersmith
Occupational surname origin
A coppersmith is a person who makes objects from copper—pots, pans, decorative items, architectural elements.
The trade requires shaping copper through hammering, heating, and joining.
Like blacksmith and goldsmith, the word combines the material worked with the old term for a skilled craftsman.
The coppersmith barbet is a green Asian bird whose call sounds like hammering on metal.
