Ancient root and name story

Origin: Hebrew through Greek and Latin. Meaning: God has helped.

Biblical story: Lazarus of Bethany is raised by Jesus in the Gospel of John after four days in the tomb. The name also appears in a parable in Luke.

Why the name matters: Lazarus is a dramatic resurrection name: grief, help, return and impossible hope.

Image rationale: the visual should suggest Bethany, tomb, wrappings, sisters Mary and Martha or a threshold between death and life.

Images are used as cultural or historical references for name sources, not proof of real historical appearance.
