Nye Family History
Nye Name Meaning
English (southeastern): topographic name arising from a misdivision
of Middle English atten (e)ye which means either ‘at the river’
or ‘at the island’, from Old English ea ‘river’ and
eg ‘island’ respectively. Both these words were feminine in
Old English, and so should have been preceded only by Middle English
atter (see Rye), but distinctions of gender ceased to be
carefully maintained in the Middle English period.
