Lazariah
Meaning of Lazariah
Lazariah, a feminine formation resonant with the Hebrew roots Eleazar and Azariah, derives from elements meaning “God has helped,” thus anchoring it in the biblical lexicon, while its terminal -ah affirms a Semitic feminine morphological pattern and evokes associations of divine assistance and steadfastness historically linked to its Hebraic antecedents. Its phonological profile, transcribed /ləˈzɑriə/ and articulated as luh-ZAR-ee-uh, exemplifies a measured trisyllabic cadence that aligns with Anglo-American pronunciation norms and the gravitas often attributed to names of religious origin. Empirical data from the United States Social Security Administration delineate its rarity within the contemporary naming landscape: from 2004 through 2023, Lazariah has occupied positions between ranks 931 and 978, culminating in six recorded occurrences and a rank of 952 in 2023—a pattern that illustrates modest yet sustained interest among parents seeking appellations that merge traditional biblical resonance with distinctive phonetic form. By positioning itself between venerable tradition and innovative adaptation, Lazariah reflects broader onomastic trends in which cultural heritage and individual distinctiveness coexist.
