shlomo,
The word "noSroyo/naSraya" which means a Nazarene, or a Christian. I believe this word was used by some people to refer to Christians in the old days
In Acts 11:26 you have the word "kreesTyon??/kreesTyan??" (Christian) appearing in the Aramaic Bible. They were called with this Greek Word first in Antioch (those people of Antioch who spoke Greek). The word, has an Aramaic termination for singular and plural.
The word "mSHeeHoyo/mSHeeHaya" which means a Christian, belonging to Christ (mSHeeHo/mSHeeHa which means anointed). This is the word that we currently use to refer to ourselfs, and we've been using this word since the beginning.
Hope This Helps!
poosh bashlomo,

Gentile Wrote:What is nasreye then? I read somewhere that some Church Father referred to the early [Semetic] followers of Christ in this way.
