Facts About
Nesbitt
Nesbitt is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The place name itself comes from the Old English ‘nesebit’ which was the word for what we would nowadays call a ‘bit’, the part on a horse harness that passes through the mouth. Places with this name would presumably have originally produced and sold these bits. |
