Lazo is in Origin.

Lazo is a South Slavic masculine name, widely used in Macedonian, Serbian, Montenegrin, and Bulgarian contexts. It is a familiar form (hypocoristic) of Lazar (Cyrillic Лазар), which comes via Greek Lazaros from Hebrew Elʿāzār, meaning “God has helped” or “God is my help.” While first a nickname, Lazo established itself as an independent given name across the Balkans, often associated with Orthodox traditions around Lazarus Saturday and with the cultural prestige of the medieval ruler Prince Lazar. Parish registers and 19th–20th‑century records show steady regional use.

Variants and related forms include Lazar, Lazaros/Lazarus, Lázaro (Spanish/Portuguese), Lazăr (Romanian), and Eleazar; pet forms in South Slavic settings include Laza and Lazo. Feminine counterparts appear as Lazara/Lázara. In Hispanic contexts Lazo is better known as a surname and as the common noun lazo, “tie, bow, bond,” and is only rarely chosen as a given name - sometimes for its modern symbolism of connection or unity.
