What is the meaning of the name Lazaro ?

The baby name Lazaro is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ləˈzɑːroʊ/ (luh-ZAH-roh),Spanish (Latin America): /laˈsaɾo/ (lah-SAH-ro),Spanish (Spain): /laˈθaɾo/ (lah-THAH-ro).

Lazaro is Hebrew in Origin.

Lazaro is the Romance form of Lazarus, from Greek Lazaros and ultimately Hebrew Elʿāzār, meaning "God has helped" or "God is my help." Via Latin and medieval church usage, it entered Iberian and Italian naming traditions; in Spanish it appears with or without the accent (Lázaro), while Italian favors Lazzaro.

Biblical resonance drives its endurance: Lazarus of Bethany, whom Jesus raised, and the poor man in Luke’s parable shaped Christian devotion and art. The cult of St. Lazarus, associated with care for lepers, even echoes in the term lazaretto. Today Lazaro is familiar in Spain, Italy, and across Latin America, and appears among Hispanic communities in the United States. Related forms include Lázaro (Spanish, Portuguese), Lazzaro (Italian), Lazar/Lazăr (South Slavic and Romanian), Lazarus (English/Latin), and the Hebrew Eleazar/Elazar. Short forms such as Laz are also used.
