Etymology

Smarties as the candy name likely comes from smart, which can mean 'clever' or 'neat', with the cute plural -ies to make it sound friendly; a helpful way to remember it is to think of many small 'smart' sweets. So the name Smarties suggests little, bright, fun candies, which is why the product uses that name.
