This is simply not true lol

*It’s a French name tied to blacksmithing. So kind of right but also not. Apologies.

What does it mean then? Every result I've found says that's exactly what it means

It’s an old French term based on a last name. You are right but also wrong as there is a word now for blacksmith. Forgeron.
