Eleazar

Eleazar is a Hebrew name derived from the elements 'el' meaning 'God' and 'azar' meaning 'to help'. It is a biblical name borne by several individuals in the Old Testament, including one of the sons of Aaron, the first High Priest of the Israelites.

The name Eleazar has been in use for centuries and its popularity has waxed and waned over time. It was particularly popular among Jewish communities but has also been used by various Christian groups.

In modern times, the name Eleazar is still relatively uncommon, but has seen a slight increase in use in recent years. It may appeal to parents looking for a distinctive biblical name with a strong meaning.

While not as widely recognized as some other biblical names, Eleazar has a rich history and a meaningful message about divine assistance.
