Origin and meaning of Nazzareno
Nazzareno comes from the Latin Nazarenus, 'of Nazareth', the epithet used for Jesus in the Gospels. The name thus carries a very strong religious value, almost a direct homage to Christ. It is distinctly Italian, found above all in central Italy and the Marche, often in settings of popular devotion. Fairly rare elsewhere, it keeps a grave, traditional tone, chosen by families close to the faith and the cult of the Nazarene.
