Meanings

Nestor is a given name, often claimed to be of Greek origin. In Greek mythology it comes from that of the son of Neleus, the King of Pylos and Chloris. The Greek derivation is from a combination of "νέομαι" [neomai] - "go back", and "νόστος" [nostos] - "one who returns from travels".
Another theory makes derivation from Hebrew by combination of "נֵס" [nes] - "miracle", and "תּוֹרָה" [tora] - Torah. It is a well used phrase in religious text of Jewish tradition.

Néstor is the Spanish-language version of the general European name Nestor.

Name for "old king renowned for wise counsel," 1580s, from Greek, name of the aged and wise hero in the "Iliad," king of Pylus, who outlived three generations. Klein says the name is literally "one who blesses," and is related to nostimos "blessed;" Watkins connects it with the root of the first element in nostalgia.

Homecoming, return.
