It's a variation on the spelling of Nero Ceaser's first name in Hebrew. Jeeze.
Jeez. I'm glad you explained that so I don't have to admit that I had no idea what you were going on about. I mean, even if you hadn't spelled 'Nero' as 'Nazon' I wouldn't have been able to work it out.

Also, I don't know if there's an accepted Hebrew spelling of Caesar Nero. He dates well after the biblical period, after all.

EDIT: I spent a fruitless ten minutes on the internet trying to find a page in Hebrew of the time Nero was mentioned in the Talmud. No such luck. I did learn that legend holds that Nero converted to Judaism, though. That's exciting.
