Nazarene
(n.)
- c.1200, "holy man;"
early 13c., "a native or resident of Nazareth,"
childhood home of Jesus, from L.L. Nazarenus, from Gk. Nazarenos,
from Heb. Natzerath. As an adjective from late 13c. As "a
follower of Jesus" from late 14c. In Talmudic Hebrew notzri,
lit. "of Nazareth," meant "a Christian;"
likewise Arabic Nasrani (pl. Nasara). In Christian use, however, it
can be a nickname for Jesus, or refer to an early Jewish Christian
sect (1680s in English), or, in modern use, to a member of the
Church of the Nazarene, a U.S.-based Protestant denomination (1898
in this sense).
