Nestor (given name)


Nestor is a given name of Greek origin. In Greek mythology it comes from that of Nestor, the son of Neleus, the King of Pylos and Chloris. The Greek derivation is from a combination of "νέομαι" - "go back", and "νόστος" - "one who returns from travels".
Another theory makes derivation from Hebrew by combination of "נֵס" - "miracle", and "תּוֹרָה" - Torah. It is a well used phrase in religious text of Jewish tradition.
