Etymology of Neesam

Today's generation of the Neesam family inherits a name that was first used by the Scottish tribe known as the Picts. The first family to use the name Neesam lived in any of a number of places called Ness, in Scotland and England. In this case, the surname Neesam comes from the Old English word, ness, which means headland. Thus, the surname Neesam means someone "from the headland." However, some references claim the name came from the Gaelic personal name Ness.
