Lazarito is Hebrew in Origin.

Lazarito is the Spanish affectionate diminutive of Lázaro, built with the suffix -ito. Lázaro traces to Greek Lazaros and Latin Lazarus, from Hebrew Elʿāzār (“God has helped” or “God is my help”). As a given name, Lazarito carries the sense “little Lázaro,” preserving the biblical meaning of divine aid while adding warmth and youthfulness.

Use is found across the Spanish-speaking world, especially in the Caribbean - Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico - where it may be both a household nickname and an official first name, influenced by popular devotion to San Lázaro (linked to the biblical Lazarus and, in Cuba, syncretized with Babalú-Ayé). Related and variant forms include Lázaro/Lazaro, Lazarus (English/Latin), Lazaros (Greek), Lazzaro (Italian), Lázár (Hungarian), Lazăr (Romanian), Lazar (Slavic), and the Hebrew cognates Eleazar/Eliezer. Additional diminutives or cognates are Lazarillo, Lázarín, and the rare feminine Lazarita. Meaning: “little Lázaro; God has helped.”
