A presence as grand as baby’s deserves an equally stand-out title, making Nesbit one to consider. This masculine name stems from the British and Scottish last name Nesbitt, which derives from landscapes with a particularly striking feature. Meaning “projecting piece of land in the bend of a river,” Nesbit blends the Old English elements nasu, “nose,” and byht, meaning “bend,” “curve,” “corner,” or “gulf.” Atmospheric and earthy, Nesbit is for the tenacious tot unafraid of leaving their mark on the world.
