Lazaros

Lazaros {lad'-zar-os}
Greek: personal noun masculine

Possible Definitions:
1) Lazarus meaning "whom God helps", is another from of the Hebrew name Eleazar. Lazarus of Bethany, was the brother of Mary and Martha. John 11:1. All that we know of him is derived from the Gospel of John, and that records little more than the facts of his death and resurrection. The language of John 11:1 implies that the sisters were the better known. Lazarus is "of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha". From this and from the order of the three names in John 11:5 we may reasonably infer that Lazarus was the youngest of the family. All the circumstances of John 11, 12 point to wealth and social position above the average.
2) The name of poor man in the well known story in Luke
16:19-31. The name Lazarus has been perpetuated in the institution of the Christian Church. The leper of the Middle Ages appears as "lazzaro". The use of "lazaretto" and
"lazarhouse" for leper hospitals then founded in all parts of western Christendom, no less than of "lazaroni" for the mendicants of Italian towns, is an indication of the effect of the story upon the mind of Europe in the Middle Ages, and thence upon its later speech.
