Lazare is Hebrew in Origin.
Lazare is the French (and Georgian) form of Lazarus, ultimately from Hebrew Eleazar, "God has helped." The name traveled via Greek Lazaros and Latin Lazarus into many languages. Close variants include Lazar (Slavic), Lazăr (Romanian), Lázaro (Spanish/Portuguese), Lazzaro (Italian), Lazaros (Greek), Eleazar/Elazar (Hebrew), and the English and German Lazarus. Diminutives such as Laz appear.
Usage is anchored in Christian tradition through two New Testament figures: Lazarus of Bethany, whom Jesus raised, and the poor man in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Veneration in Eastern churches, especially on Lazarus Saturday before Palm Sunday, sustained the name around the Balkans, Russia, the Caucasus, and Georgia, where Lazare remains familiar. In France it had modest but steady presence, buoyed by notable bearers like statesman Lazare Carnot and general Lazare Hoche, and enjoys a quiet vintage revival today. Name days vary by country; many observe the Saturday before Palm Sunday.
| Lazare Carnot Lazare Carnot was a French mathematician, physicist, military officer, and politician best known for helping organize the French Revolutionary Army through major military reforms, especially mass conscription. A leading member of the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution, he played a key role in turning France’s forces into an effective fighting army. |
