Name Meaning
English: from Middle English neighebor ‘neighbour, fellow man’, from a compound of Old English nēah ‘near’ + gebūr ‘dweller’ (compare Bauer ). This may have been used as a nickname for someone who was a ‘good neighbor’; more probably it derives from the use of the word as a habitual term of address. Compare Neighbor .
