Nestor is, apart from a given name, also found as a surname borne by Irish and Estonians. In Ireland, it was derived as a shortened form of ''Mac Girr an Adhastair'', meaning ''son of the short man of the bridle''. It was sometimes shortened to ''Mac an Adhastair.'' The surname is most common in County Galway and County Clare. The clan were natives of Corcomroe in the latter county, which in the Middle Ages formed the north-westernmost territory of the kingdom of Thomond. The Mac Girr an Adhastair were associated with the local lords, the Ó Lochlainn family. == People with the surname == * Agnes Nestor * Daniel Nestor, (born 1972), Canadian grand slam winning tennis player * Kelly Nestor, (born 1969), Australian newsreader * Pam Nestor, (born 1948), lyricist and singer * Eddie Nestor, (born 1964) broadcaster and comedian * Eiki Nestor, (born 1953), Estonian politician 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nestor (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
