Historical References
"NIMMO. This surname is sometimes spelled Nemmock (Nisbet, i, p. 244). The attempt (Narrative of Mr. James Nimmo, 1854-1709, p. xxix) to provide a French origin, from Ne Mot is too fanciful. The Nimmos are also traditionally said to be descended from French Protestants who fled from the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572, but the name is found in Scotland much earlier. An early form of the name is found in that of Johannes Newmoch, juror on assize at Liston, 1459 (Edmonstone, 80). Agnes Nemoch was married in 1490 (Sc. Ant., in, p. 108), and Alexander Nemok was witness in Glasgow, 1587 (Protocols, x). Alexander Nemo was retoured heir of John Nemo de Mydilmount in the bailiary of Kylestewart, 1616 (Retours, Ayr, 136, 139). Marion Nimoke was married in Edinburgh, 1618 (Edinb. Marr.). James Nimmo, the Covenanter, fought at Bothwell Bridge, 1679, and Rev. William Nimmo was historian of Stirlingshire. Nemoche 1598, Nimo 1623. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
