Meaning & origin
Lasaro is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1913. It has never broken into the top 1000 names, and its most recent occurrence in Social Security data was in 2025, with a stable trajectory suggesting low but steady use across generations. The name's peak year remains 1913, when it was first recorded, and it has not seen a significant resurgence. Despite its scarcity, Lasaro appeals to families seeking a distinctive name with Italian or Spanish heritage. Its similarity to Lazarus lends it a biblical resonance, though it remains a unique choice in the United States.
Lasaro is a rare given name, likely a variant of Lazarus, which derives from the Hebrew name El'azar (אֶלְעָזָר), meaning 'God has helped.' The name appears in the New Testament as the brother of Mary and Martha, whom Jesus raised from the dead, and in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. In Italian and Spanish contexts, Lasaro may have emerged as a regional or phonetic spelling. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1913, though it has never been common, reflecting its regional and familial use.
