Not necessarily of birth, but of upbringing (youth) or residence (adult life). So, for example, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but is known as Jesus of Nazareth because his parents moved there when he was young. After his birth, Joseph "went and lived in a town called Nazareth", https://biblehub.com/matthew/2.htm#19.
