What is the origin of Lazarus?

Lazarus' language of origin is Hebrew. It is used predominantly in the English and German languages. The name means 'God has helped'. Biblical name derived from el meaning 'God, powerful' ; azar meaning 'to help'. Older forms of Lazarus consist of Eleazar (Hebrew), name Eliezer (Hebrew), Lazar (Aramaic), Lazaros (Old Greek), and Lazarus (Latin). The name is Latinized from the Greek Lazaros, which is of the Aramaic Lazar, a short form of the Hebrew Eleazar or Eliezer. The name was borne by two characters in the Bible: the brother of Mary and Martha whom Jesus raised from the dead, and a beggar who was 'full of sores'. Due to the latter, the name came to be associated with lepers in the medieval period and was therefore hardly used as a first name. It was used on an irregular scale by English speakers in the 17th century, mostly among Jews. Among Puritans, it has sometimes been adopted for its associations with the Christian notion of heavenly rewards for leading a life of poverty.
