Nesayak or Nesa was the ancient name of the Iranian city of Bayza in the Fars province of Iran. Linguists derive this name from the Parthian word Ns'yk (Nesayak) meaning "bright, shining". Arabs during their invasion of Iran translated this name in Arabic Bayda which also means "bright and white". For more information see Encyclopaedia Iranica under Bayza.
