Sure I can tell you It's a historical as well as etymological reason Back in the ancient world during the times of the Roman empire there were a series of religious practices that were being suppressed by the Romans These were some of the very first Christians suffering under the Romans and they used a neat aspect of the Hebrew language to express their dislike of the Roman emperor You see each character of the Hebrew alphabet also has number associated with that character, it's a practice called Gematria Much like in Chinese the word "death" is also associated with the number "4" and is the reason why 4 is considered unlucky Well it's the same thing with 666, because in Hebrew that number is represented by the characters of נרון קסר And when translated using the Hebrew writing system of kitiv haser they reference the Roman emperor of Nero, An emperor of Rome who accused the first Christians of arson and led the beginning of their persecution
