| Lemma | Ναζωραῖος |
| Strong's | G3480 |
SIBI-P1 G3480-01
the Nazōraean (man) [accusative masculine singular]; of the Nazōraeans (men) [genitive masculine plural]
| Root | Ναζωραῖος (Nazōraios) |
| Core Meanings | Nazoræan, one belonging to Nazareth, member of the Nazōraios group |
| Semantic Range | an inhabitant of Nazareth; a designation for Jesus as "the Nazōraean"; a label for His followers; a term used by outsiders for the Christian sect |
| Conceptual Significance | "Nazōraean" functions both as a geographic identifier and as a messianic title associated with Jesus of Nazareth. In Acts it becomes a communal designation ("the sect of the Nazōraeans"), marking the early believers as a distinct movement within Judaism. |
| Morphological Notes | Ναζωραῖον: noun, accusative masculine singular (direct object). Ναζωραίων: noun, genitive masculine plural ("of the Nazōraeans"). The forms derive from the adjective-turned-substantive Ναζωραῖος. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the proper-name form Nazōraean, directly reflecting the lemma Ναζωραῖος and its connection to Nazareth. "The Nazōraean (man)" reflects the accusative masculine singular form used as a direct object, while "of the Nazōraeans (men)" reflects the genitive masculine plural indicating possession or association. |
