Nesbitt History

Records of the name Nesbit can be traced back to the 12th century in the Barony of Nesbit in Berwickshire. The area itself possibly taking the name from a nose shaped hill.
Variations of the name, however appear in older documents: William de Nesbite is recorded as witness to a charter by Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, to Coldingham Priory in 1160.
