Christian Texts and History • Re: Questions about "Nazareth" / "Nazarene"

Question about Aramaic linguistics. In English we say that a person from Florida is a Floridian. But Florida is a Spanish word meaning "place of flowers". How would a Spanish speaker say that a person is from a place like "florida" in Spanish? There are also Spanish named towns like Los Flores. How do Spanish speaker say that someone is from Los Flores?

The question here is, how would an Aramaic speaker identify a person from "Naṣareth"? What would be the Aramaic for "person from Naṣareth"?

In other words, is the supposed transformation of "Naṣareth" to "Nazarene" Greek or Aramaic in character?
