Lazer
Meaning of Lazer
The masculine name Lazer (pronounced LAY-zur / leɪˈzər/) derives from the Hebrew Lazarus—originally Eleazar—meaning “God has helped,” and entered Anglo-American usage through its New Testament association with Lazarus of Bethany. Although its spelling mirrors the modern term laser—derived from the acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation—its origin remains firmly biblical. In the United States, official data record 39 newborn boys named Lazer in 2024, ranking it 885th nationally; over the past two decades its rank has consistently hovered between 879 and 904 with annual occurrences typically under 60. Historical figures show a modest peak in relative popularity during the mid-20th century (rank 658 in 1958), after which Lazer settled into a stable, niche position. This profile may appeal to parents seeking a name that balances theological depth with a subtly unconventional edge.
