Bible | Nazarene This epithet (Gr. Nazaraios) is applied to Christ only once (Matt. 2:23). In all other cases the word is rendered "of Nazareth" (Mark 1:24; 10:47; 14:67, etc.). When this Greek designation was at first applied to our Lord, it was meant simply to denote the place of his residence. In course of time the word became a term of reproach. Thus the word "Nazarene" carries with it an allusion to those prophecies which speak of Christ as "despised of men" (Isa. 53:3). Some, however, think that in this name there is an allusion to the Hebrew _netser_, which signifies a branch or sprout. It is so applied to the Messiah (Isa. 11:1), i.e., he whom the prophets called the _Netse_, the "Branch." The followers of Christ were called "the sect of Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5). All over Palestine and Syria this name is still given to Christians. (See NAZARETH.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
If Nazarene is not "man from Nazareth" what does it mean? There are a number of theories. A popular definition is that it comes from the word netzer meaning branch or off-shoot. Which could mean that Jesus was a "descendant of David" or Jesus(or rather the teachings he advocated) were an offshoot from Judaism. A second interpretation is that it comes from the word nosri which means "one who keeps (guard over)" or "one who observes". A third interpretation is that it comes from the word nazir which refers to a man who is consecrated and bound by a vow to God. Possibly it was a play on words that suggested more than one of these interpretations.
