Nazary / Nazarius / Nazar

The name Nazary is a variant of Nazarius, which is derived from the Greek name Nazaraios, meaning 'from Nazareth'. Nazareth is a town in Galilee, Israel, and is famously known as the hometown of Jesus Christ. The name gained prominence through early Christian saints and martyrs.

Saint Nazarius was a 1st-century Roman martyr who, along with Saint Celsus, is venerated in the Catholic Church. Their relics were discovered by Saint Ambrose in Milan in the 4th century, leading to a spread of their cult and the name's usage, particularly in Italy and later in Eastern Orthodox countries.
