Nysbit is English, Scottish in Origin.

Nysbit is a modern given-name adoption of a Scottish-Northern English surname rooted in places called Nisbet (Berwickshire/East Lothian) and Nesbit (Northumberland). The placename derives from Old English næs ‘headland, nose-like ridge’ plus byht ‘bend, corner,’ yielding the sense “promontory at a bend” or “nose-shaped hill.” The spelling with y updates the family of forms while preserving the usual pronunciation NEZ-bit.

As a surname it is documented in 12th-13th century charters of the Scottish Borders, and borne by the Nisbet/Nesbit families, later dispersed to Ireland and the New World. As a given name it appears as a rare transfer in the 19th and 20th centuries, mainly masculine but usable for any gender today. Established variants include Nesbit, Nesbitt, Nisbet, Nisbett, and Naisbitt/Naisbit; short forms such as Nes or Nib can serve as nicknames. The name connotes rugged landscapes and rootedness.
