In all the world, Смірноў (Smirnow 
, Smirnov 
, Smirnoff 
) is a rare predominantly boy's, but very seldom female given name. The forename Смірноў is habitual in Russia, where it is a very rare male name, and China, where it is an extremely rare dominantly masculine, but uncommonly girly name. Much more frequently, Смірноў is the last name as well as the forename.
