Origin
Meaning and history of Lazarick
The given name Lazarick has its origins in Eastern Europe, specifically in the Slavic languages of the region. It is believed to be a variant or derivation of the name Lazar, which itself is derived from the Greek name Lazaros, meaning "God is my helper." The name Lazarick likely emerged in the late medieval period, around the 13th to 15th centuries, as a Slavic interpretation and adaptation of the earlier Greek name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Lazarick can be found in historical documents from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, where it was used among the nobility and upper classes. It is possible that the name was introduced to the region through cultural and religious exchanges with the Byzantine Empire, which had a strong Greek influence.
In the 16th century, a notable figure named Lazarick Polubinski was a prominent military commander in the Polish-Lithuanian army, known for his bravery in battles against the Teutonic Knights. Another individual bearing this name was Lazarick Kosinski, a wealthy merchant and landowner who lived in the late 17th century in the city of Lviv, which was then part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
During the 18th century, the name Lazarick gained some popularity among the Russian nobility, possibly due to cultural exchanges and intermarriages between the Russian and Polish aristocracy. One such person was Lazarick Volkonsky, a Russian nobleman and military officer who served under Tsar Peter the Great and later became a prominent diplomat.
In the 19th century, a renowned Lazarick was the Serbian scholar and linguist Lazarick Stojanović, who made significant contributions to the study of Slavic languages and folklore. He was born in 1833 and passed away in 1891.
Another notable figure with this name was Lazarick Kovalenko, a Ukrainian painter and artist who lived from 1868 to 1938. He was known for his vibrant and expressive depictions of Ukrainian rural life and landscapes, capturing the essence of his homeland's culture and traditions.
While the name Lazarick has its roots in Eastern Europe and the Slavic cultural sphere, it has also been adopted and used in other parts of the world, particularly among communities with ties to the region or those influenced by Slavic traditions and naming conventions.

FAQ
Lazarick: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Lazarick?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Lazarick going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Lazarick a common name?
We classify Lazarick as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 12 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Lazarick most popular?
The single biggest year for Lazarick was 2001, when 7 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Lazarick is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Lazarick in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Lazarick a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Lazarick in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Lazarick still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Lazarick in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Lazarick can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
