Elazar is Hebrew in Origin.
Elazar is the Hebrew form Elʿāzār, from El (“God”) + ʿazar (“has helped”), yielding the meaning “God has helped” or “El has aided.” It appears repeatedly in the Bible: Eleazar son of Aaron became High Priest; Eleazar son of Abinadab guarded the Ark; and Eleazar the son of Dodo was among King David’s mighty men. The name remained common among rabbinic sages, notably Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, anchoring its continuous Jewish usage.
Variants include Eleazar (English/Latinized) and El’azar; through Aramaic Laʿzar the name produced Greek Lazaros/Lazarus and cognates such as Lazar, Lázaro, Lazzaro, and Lazăr. In Yiddish, the diminutive Leyzer/Lazer is sometimes associated, though more strictly tied to Eliezer, a related but distinct name. Today Elazar sees steady use in Israel and the diaspora, cherished for its concise expression of gratitude and divine assistance.
