Re: Meaning/origin of Nessime
Nessime appears to be a variation of the Quenyen name, Nessima or Nessimë which means youthful. Quenyen was an invented language, invented by J. R. R. Tolkien, for his famed 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Were your parents Lord of the Rings fans?I've come across several name sources that lead to the same conclusion. Nessime/Nessima/Nessime with the dots over the 'e' all seem to come from a fictional elvish language.Ewoks roasting on a open fire,

Great research work, Quigonjecca. Tolkien also wrote that the umlat (two dots) on an e, as in Nessimë, should be pronounced "ay"- just how the questioner's name is pronounced.
