Notes for William SMELLIE
Smillie
1. variant of Smiley.
2. from a derivative of Middle English smil, smel ‘odor’, hence a nickname for someone notorious for giving off a smell that was obnoxious evenby medieval standards, or for someone who made great use of perfumes and pomanders to counteract this trait.
