אֶלְעָזָר

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: God helped

• Elazar means "God helped" and belongs to one of the most significant priestly figures in the Torah, the son of Aaron who inherited the role of High Priest. It is a name that has been carried by scholars, leaders, and rabbis throughout Jewish history, giving it a deep bench of distinguished namesakes. There is a steadfast, faithful quality to Elazar that has kept it relevant for thousands of years.

  There is a stately, three-syllable rhythm here that feels both timeless and approachable. It offers the familiar warmth of Eli as a built-in nickname with considerably more gravitas in its full form. For parents drawn to names with serious scholarly and spiritual pedigree that still roll easily off the tongue, Elazar is rock-solid.
