In Scripture, bearers include Eliezer of Damascus, Abraham's trusted steward; Eliezer, son of Moses and Zipporah; and Eleazar, son of Aaron and later high priest, as well as Eleazar the Maccabee. Through Greek Eleazaros came Lazaros and Latin Lazarus, yielding Lazaro and Lazar across Europe. Common modern variants: Eliezer, Eleazar, Elazar, Eliecer/Elieser (Spanish), Leizer and Lazar (Yiddish/Slavic). Diminutives include Eli, Laz, and Lazo. Usage is strongest in Jewish communities and present in Christian naming, retaining the protective sense of divine help.
