A “Smile” is called “Chiuch” (חיוך) in Hebrew.
The first two letters of “Chiuch” form the word “Chay” (חי), meaning “Life”. The last two letters, Vav and Kaf, have a gematria of 26, the gematria of the name of God YHVH (יהוה).
The corners of the mouth resemble two Yuds (י), and the lips resemble the letter Vav (ו).
Smile = Yud + Yud + Vav
= 10 + 10 + 6 = 26 🙂

The word “Smile” comes from the Indo-European root “Smey,” which is related to the Hebrew word Sameach (סמח), meaning “Happy.”
In Sanskrit, “Smayate” (स्मयते) means “Smile,” “Laugh,” but also “Shine.”
In Hebrew, the word “Netz” (נץ) refers to both a “flower” of a fruit tree and a “sparkle.”

The Hebrew word “Sameach” (Happy) shares an ancient root with the word “Tsemach” (צמח), meaning “Sprout” or “Offshoot.”
In the Amidah prayer, it is said “Et Tsemach David Tatsmiach” (“Your servant David’s sprout will flourish”) in reference to the Messiah.
את צמח דוד תצמיח
“In that day, the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious…” — Isaiah 4:2
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה צֶמַח יְהוָה לִצְבִי וּלְכָבוֹד וּפְרִי הָאָרֶץ לְגָאוֹן וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת לִפְלֵיטַת יִשְׂרָאֵל
“Tell him this: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Behold, a man whose name is Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord.” — Zechariah 6:12
וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת לֵאמֹר: הִנֵּה אִישׁ צֶמַח שְׁמוֹ וּמִתַּחְתָּיו יִצְמָח וּבָנָה אֶת הֵיכַל יְהוָה

“Messiah” in Hebrew (“Mashiach” משיח) is an anagram of “Ysma’h” (ישמח), meaning “He will be happy.”
Messiah is not only “Ish Tsema’h” (“Sprout-man”) but also “Ish Sameach” (“Happy Man”): God resides where there is joy.
