Naisbit is English, Scottish in Origin.

Naisbit is a rare surname-derived given name of Scottish and northern English origin, a variant of Nesbitt/Nisbet. It comes from habitational places named Nisbet or Nesbit in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. The toponym combines Old English nǣs “nose, headland, promontory” with byht “bend,” describing a nose-like ridge or headland set on a river bend. The sense is “dweller at the nose-shaped hill” or “from the headland at the bend.” Pronounced NAYZ-bit or NAYS-bit.

As a surname it is recorded from the medieval period in Berwickshire and Roxburghshire, later carried by Scots-Irish families into Ulster and then overseas to North America and Australasia in the 18th–19th centuries. Given-name use is modern, part of the surname-as-first-name trend, typically masculine but broadly unisex. Close variants include Nesbitt, Nesbit, Nisbet, Naisbitt, and Nesbett; diminutives are uncommon.
