Lazarus Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Greek form of Hebrew Eleazar ‘whom God aids’, used in the Authorized Version of the Bible New Testament for the brother of Martha and Mary and for the beggar in the parable of Dives and Lazarus. It is now an exclusively Jewish name, but was used as a christian name in the 17th C.
M. Hebrew, ‘God will help (? him)’. Now rarely used except among the Jews, its employment has been prompted by the two New Testament characters: the Lazarus of Bethany (Mary and Martha’s brother) whom Jesus restored to life; and that beggar in the parable of Dives and Lazarus who, in the Middle Ages, was the patron saint of lepers—whence archaic lazar, ‘ a leper,’ and lazaret, ‘a hospital for lepers. ‘
From Λαζαρος, pog, for Ελεασαρ, from the Scripture name, in Hebrew אֶלְעָזָר, Elazár, from El-azár, God aids, i. e. whom God aids.
Hebrew (masculine) - God is my help.
Las'-za-rus, the help of God. 1. The brother of Martha and Mary, who dwelt at Bethlehem. John xi. 2. The name of a beggar. Luke xvi 20.
Meaning: Greek for Eleazar.
A Hebrew name, meaning: Brother of Mary and Martha, and friend of Jesus Christ.
