Etymology
Nazareth probably comes from an old Hebrew or Aramaic word like netser, which means 'branch', or from a local word meaning 'settlement'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a small village ('settlement') or a 'branch', which links to Jesus being called a Nazarene and to the town where he grew up.
