Small

The name 'Small' originates from the Old English word 'smæl', meaning 'small' or 'narrow'. It was primarily used as a descriptive surname for someone of small stature or for someone who lived in a narrow place. Over time, like many descriptive surnames, it could have occasionally been adopted as a given name, though this is rare.

Its usage as a given name is extremely uncommon and would typically be a direct transfer from the surname. It doesn't have a long history as a traditional first name in any culture and is more likely to be encountered as a modern, perhaps whimsical, choice or a surname used as a first name.
