What is the meaning of the name Nazaret ?

The baby name Nazaret is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /na.saˈɾet/ (Spanish); /næzəˈrɛt/ or /ˈnæzəˌrɛθ/ (English).

Nazaret is Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

Nazaret is the Spanish and international given-name form of Nazareth, the Galilean town associated with Jesus. The toponym reached Spanish via Greek (Nazaréth) and Latin (Nazareth) from Hebrew Natzrat/Natzeret; its precise etymology is debated, linked either to a Semitic root n-ṣ-r “to guard/watch” or to netzer “branch,” which informs the biblical epithet “Nazarene.” As a given name, Nazaret conveys “from/of Nazareth” and carries strong Christian resonance.

Attested in Catholic baptismal records from the early modern period, Nazaret spread through Marian devotion (María de Nazaret) and is most common for girls in Spain and Latin America, while in Armenian communities Nazaret/Nazareth appears as a masculine name. The name also fits modern place-name trends beyond the Hispanic world. Variants and cognates include Nazareth (English/international), Natzaret (Catalan/Valencian), and the related Portuguese form Nazaré. Short forms include Naza and Naz.
