The last name 'Lazar' is claimed by families within a number of East European nations. For example, 'Lazar' and variations of it may be found as last names in Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. It also may be found in Russia and in the Ukraine.

The name 'Lazar' actually may be found as first and last names. But whatever its use, it ultimately traces its origins back to Judaism. Indeed, its sources are the Aramaic and Hebrew languages of Jewish populations in the ancient land that now is known as the State of Israel. In both languages, the name draws upon equivalents of the words 'el' and 'azar' to mean variations on the theme of 'God is my help'.
