About Nisby
The surname Nisby is of English origin and is derived from the Old Norse personal name "Njáll" or "Njǫll," meaning "champion" or "hero." The addition of the Old Norse element "byr" meaning "farm" or "settlement" gives rise to the meaning "Njáll's farm" or "Njáll's settlement." The surname Nisby is therefore a locational surname, indicating that the original bearers of the name were residents or landowners of a place named after Njáll.
