NESTA | NESTI | NESTO | NESTOLA | NESTOLI

Nesta has a lineage between Roman and Rietino, one in the Avellino area and one between Foggia and Bari, Nesti is typically Tuscan, from the Florentine, Prato, Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa and Livorno, Nesto is decidedly Venetian, Nestola is characteristic of Copertino and they rise in the Lecce area, with very significant presences also in Porto Cesareo, Veglie, Lecce and Nardò, Nestoli, almost unique, it would seem of the Cremonese, they should derive, directly or through hypochoristic, from apheretic forms of names like Onesto or Ernesto also in the matronymic form.
