It kinda depends on whom you ask. Either Nasraya is related to the Hebrew Netzer, meaning "branch" thus refering to Isaiah's prophecy about a branch from Jesse, or it is related to the Hebrew Natzar, which is a guard or a watchman. There are other prophecies in Isaiah that refer to this idea. The prophet is, no doubt, Isaiah. The question is which prophecy it refers to.
