Akhay,
The neat thing about Targum Isaiah 11:1 is that we see a clearer connection between Hebrew Isaiah's coming Netzer (Branch) being Meshikha so its no wonder Mattai connects the dots between Yeshua being from Nazareth which gives him the title "Netsraya", all as fulfillment of messianic prophecy in Mt 2:23.
