The major artifact is the association between the name of Nero and fire. In Arabic and Quran extremely pronounced. (Read this)
However the actual crazy stuff is not that easy to spot :D
Emperor Nero accidentally kills his wife named Poppaea Sabina. There are conflicting claims but alternative claims most likely because of over suspicion of someone dying with a kick and considering history of Nero people probably speculated back then.
The artifact is Turkish word “Narin”. It means fragile in Turkish in a feminine way. It is not usually used for fragile glass for instance. “-n” suffix means belonging. So it was probably derived with a logic like Nero's. It may look far fetched. But it is very likely not. As we do not stop here. “Narenciye” used to refer citrus. The more common word for citrus is “Turunç(giller)”. “turuncu" means orange (the colour). Not all citrus is directly orange. Some are reddish but usually they are orange. Especially most popular ones. Especially considering Nero lived in first century and Roman Emperors were involved in intentional linguistics artifact creation. It is possible Nero did this on purpose especially because likely he didn't like people blaming him. There seems to be only one reference to her hair color in ancient literature (in this book) where her hair color was referred with a word that means amber-colored. (Source) It was likely bright orange. It was likely described with that term maybe because there wasn't a term for color orange. Or language was shallow on this color because it is not common. It is actually not a possbility to any other color than orage to be referred with such word considering there are always clearly more available words.
Considering the word “narin” even found in Mongolian without any explanation for the root. It is clear Turkish didn't spread from Central Asia to Turkey. Although not claiming historically it wasn't popular there. There is just complicated situation and classical literature is totally irrelevant. Well, it kinda makes life easier. If there was a somewhat relevant literature it would be confusing :D
There is actually a Turkish song from few decades ago named “narin yarim” which means something like “My sensitive lover”. Kinda funny there aren't ten thousands songs with this word in their name. Turns out it was composed by Aşkın Tuna earlier.

(*Pronounciation based on Turkish alphabet.)
In Arabic and Persian “hassas” means sensitive. It is also a considered a loanword in Turkish. According to literature it seems like “narin” only can be found in Turkish. Chatgpt says “narin” used in the same meaning in Persian in poetic fashion. An Arabic word pronounced as “nāʿim” has very similar meaning.
Likely the this is result of Nero killing his wife by accident getting viral similar to Rome fire. So some things seems likely coincidence. Likely people just started referring similar incidents with the word “narin”. This word despite being Turkish has no linguistic explanation or any derivation logic.
It is possible that orange color wasn't really common. Especially in languages. And the names relating to fruit and color are not coincidence.
This one is speculative but not as much as it sounds. It is just kinda new in me. I didn't really think this through. At first glance it seems like very likely true.
-de is suffix for location. Called locative case. “Araba+da” means "in the car". “Ev+de” means "in/at the home". Turkish word for where “Nerede?” (Also pronounced as "nerde?") is likely a reference to Nero. Also “Nere?” means "to where?". (Over a reference to unknown place.) According to literature he would hang around in disguise without letting anybody know. May be just a coincidence.
