Is there a Russian/Ukrainian equivalent for Smith or Jones?

Ivanov - Petrov - Sidorov :D:D

It's counted that but statistic says it is Kuznetzov (Кузнецов) from russian word farrier

[jb]

A farrier is typically a blacksmith, one who shoes horses.  This profession was known locally as "the smithy", and the name Smith is a derivitive.

The same can be said for such names as;
Miller, Mason, Carpenter, Brewer, and probably many more if I paused to  dwell upon it.

Smirnov, Ivanov, Kuznetsov, Popov, and Petrov are the most common.
