Nazarene was a Greek mistranslation of the Hebrew Nazarite.

Is it possible Jesus and his post resurrection followers were Nazarites? The sect begins at the Last supper when Jesus vows he will not drink wine again until the kingdom comes.
How about when Paul shaved his head at the end of a vow, recorded in Acts . He doesn't say what the vow was , maybe it had something to do with his famous collection offering from the Gentiles, but that's how Nazarite vows ended. in Acts 24:5–18 Paul was accused of as the "ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes", a Nazarene was a mistranslation of the sect of the Nazarites.
A Nazarite vow was imposes on John the Baptist by his parents. If John was indeed the leader of a Nazarite sect , Jesus was baptized into John's Nazarite sect and carried on the vow to bring the kingdom after John's death.

Agree or disagree the resurrected Jesus sect was a Nazarite sect.

NAZARENE

(Naz·a·reneʹ) [probably from Heb. neʹtser, “sprout�].

NAZIRITE

(Nazʹi·rite) [One Singled Out; Dedicated One; Separated One from Heb., na·zirʹ ].

The names Nazarene and Nazirite are not to be confused, for, though spelled similarly in English, they stem from altogether different Hebrew words with different meanings. (see above)

Why did Matthew say there was a prophecy that Jesus would be called a Nazarene (Mat 2:23)?

Ya know , honestly I don't know if There actually was a prophecy which said the Messiah would be a Nazarene/Nazarite. Do you?
Maybe Matthew wrote this because so many of the risen Christ's' sect were Nazarites.
