Help[Surname] Re: Any surname meaning "jeweller"?

German is Schmuck...
Anyone else see a pattern; I feel like I am the only one that sees how "jewler" or "gold smith" as a sur-name in English, brought over from another ethnicity, has an English equivalent that means something terrible.

Anyone know any others?
