About Lazaro
This sleek Italian name was raised from the dead by Mexican Mozart in the Jungle star Gael Garcia Bernal, who chose it for his son (he also has a daughter named Libertad). For athletic inspiration, Lazaro Alvarez, boxing for Cuba, is the three-time world champion lightweight boxer. Lazarus and root name Eleazar are both also destined for comebacks.
Pronounced LAZ-uh-ro.
As of October 2026, Lazaro ranked #1504 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #803 in 1985.
