English: from Middle English neat ‘ox, cow’ (Old English nēat), probably applied as a metonymic occupational name for a cowherd, or a nickname for someone thought to bear some resemblance to the animal. The modern English adjective neat (via French from Latin nitidus ‘clean, shining’) does not occur before the 16th century, after the main period of surname formation.
