Naisbitt
na(i)-sbi-tt,
nais-bitt
Origin:Scottish
Other Origin(s):British
Meaning:Projecting piece of land, nose-shaped piece of land
With a name like Naisbitt, your little one will know where to point when you ask them, "Where's your nose?" This masculine moniker is a variant of Nesbitt, a Scottish habitational name with a very interesting and descriptive definition! The Old English element nēs, meaning "nose," can refer to any projecting object, and this is certainly true in Naisbitt and Nesbitt's case! As last names, they were given to those who lived on a "projecting piece of land" or a "nose-shaped piece of land," such as a cliff or headland. When you and sweet Naisbitt sing Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, they'll be particularly enthusiastic with one lyric (and action.)
