Help Wanted on Peter Smail Info

I have found that I am most likely from the Peter Smail (Schmel) line. I do however have a few questions. Does anyone know why the name was changed from Schmel (German) to Smail (UK)? My great grandfather (Edward Charles Smail) had always said that his family had come from the UK. So Peter Smail was definitely from Germany? I have never really found any concrete information on the country of origin for the 'Smail' name; I had always assumed it was Scottish.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

thanks!
Ed Smail
