Ben-Eliezer is Hebrew in Origin.
Ben-Eliezer is a Hebrew compound name, used as both a given name and a surname. It joins ben, “son [of],” with Eliezer (Eli, “my God,” + ezer, “help”), yielding the sense “son of Eliezer” or, more poetically, “son of ‘My God has helped.’” Eliezer is a well-attested biblical name - borne by Abraham’s steward and one of Moses’s sons - giving the compound a deeply traditional resonance.
As a patronymic formula, ben Eliezer appears throughout rabbinic texts; in modern Israeli usage, the hyphenated form serves as a stylish double given name and is also an established Sephardi/Mizrahi surname. Variants and related forms include Ben Eliezer (no hyphen), Ben-Eleazar/Ben-Elazar, and surname derivatives like Ben-Lazar; cognates of Eliezer include Eleazar/Elazar, Lazar, and Lázaro. Nicknames may be Ben, Benny, Beni, Eli, or Elie. A feminine counterpart, Bat-Eliezer (“daughter of Eliezer”), is occasionally used.
