Etymology of NaiborWhat does the name Naibor mean? The Naibor surname is derived from the Middle English word neighbor, which in turn comes from the Old English words "ne-ah," meaning "near," and "gebur," or "a dweller." As a name, Naibor most likely evolved from the term of address for someone living nearby. 1 Early Origins of the Naibor familyThe surname Naibor was first found in Hertfordshire where Ralph Neighbour held estates in that shire in 1222. Later in Bedfordshire, William le Neybere was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for 1309 and Bartholomew Neighebour was found in the Subsidy Rolls for Essex in 1327. 2 Early History of the Naibor familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Naibor research.

Migration of the Naibor familyTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Naibor family emigrate to North America: James Neighbor, who arrived in Boston in 1659; and Joseph Neighbours, a bonded passenger sent to America in 1765.
