Nazareth is Hebrew in Origin.
From the biblical place name, Nazareth traces to Greek Nazaret/Nazareth (Ναζαρέτ/Ναζαρέθ), likely reflecting a Semitic root linked to Hebrew netzer, “branch/shoot,” a messianic image from Isaiah 11:1; as a given name it can mean “of Nazareth.” In Romance languages it appears as Nazaret (Spanish) and Nazaré (Portuguese), while Latin furnished Nazareth and the related adjective Nazarenus (“Nazarene”). The town’s name and demonym also produced Latinate forms such as Nazarius.
Adopted by Christians as a devotional given name, it occurs across centuries in Iberia and the Mediterranean, with English use sporadic since the Puritan era and again in modern place-name trends. It is unisex in English and Spanish. Variants and cognates include Nazaret, Nazaré, Nazario/Nazaria, Nazareno/Nazarena, and Nazarius; short forms include Naz and Naza. The name remains rare but familiar through liturgy and geography, carrying associations of humility, roots, and renewal.
