His father was Nicomachus, a medical doctor, while his mother was named Phaestis. Nicomachus was certainly living in Chalcidice when Aristotle was born and he had probably been born in that region. Aristotle's mother, Phaestis, came from Chalcis in Euboea and her family owned property there.
Kanyang ama ay Nicomachus, isang medikal na doktor, habang ang kanyang ina ay pinangalanang Phaestis. Nicomachus ay tiyak na naninirahan sa Chalcidice kapag Aristotle ay ipinanganak at niya marahil ay ipinanganak na sa mga rehiyon. Aristotle's ina, Phaestis, ang dumating Chalcis mula sa Euboea at ang kanyang pamilya na pag-aari ng ari-arian doon.
