Jesus' being called a Nazarene evidently refers to the application to him of the Hebrew word nétser. This word means "branch" or "sprout." It was used prophetically of Jesus at Isaiah 11:1, which reads: "And there must go forth a twig out of the stump of Jesse; and out of his roots a sprout [nétser] will be fruitful." Noteworthy is the fact that the name of Jesus' hometown, Nazareth, is apparently derived from this same Hebrew word, nétser, and means "Branch-town."
Hence, while it appears that no specific statement in the Hebrew Scriptures can be cited that says the Messiah would be called a Nazarene, the prophecy of Isaiah 11:1 concerning "a sprout" was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. There is also the meaning of the name Nazareth to consider. These factors combine to give veracity to Matthew's inspired statement at Matthew 2:23 that, according to prophecy, Jesus would "be called a Nazarene."
