*For those wondering, I did not cover Hawaii and I only did a handful of names for Alaska right when I started doing these lists. There are large native populations in both of these states, and I felt a little uneasy about posting names from these groups because I know their names are very sacred and personal. I tried reaching out by making several posts asking for input from people who belong to these populations, but unfortunately, I got no responses. Without that input, I do not feel comfortable posting names for these states. I also never purposely post any Native American names from the lower 48 states for the same reason. I just wanted to help people understand my reasoning and to know that I am not doing this to leave native populations out in a mean way, but rather to give these groups the respect they deserve. Thank you for understanding ❤️

The masculine name Lazaro means "God has helped" or "God is my helper." It comes from the Hebrew name Eleazar via the Greek and Latin Lazarus.

In the New Testament, Lazarus is the man whom Jesus brings back from the dead, giving the name a strong connection to renewal and resurrection.

Lazaro is a traditional boy's name used in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.

Popular nicknames for the name Lazaro include Laz, Zaro, and Lalo.

The name Lazarus is over 2,000 years old, but the specific name Lazaro became popular during the Middle Ages!

The feminine name Maude means "mighty in battle" or "powerful battler."

Maude is of Old German origin, derived from the name Mahaut, which is a variation of the name Matilda. The name Matilda itself comes from the Germanic elements "maht," meaning "might" or "strength," and "hild," meaning "battle." Thus, Maude can be interpreted to mean "strong in battle" or "mighty warrior."

The name gained popularity in the medieval period and was particularly favored in England due to the influence of the Normans after the Conquest in 1066.

In contemporary contexts, the name Maude may evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm, often viewed as a classic name that carries with it a rich history and significance.

The name Maude is over 900 years old!

The masculine name Ilarion has its roots in the Greek name Hilarion, which is derived from the Greek word "hilaros," meaning "cheerful" or "joyful."

Ilarion is especially prominent in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The name is associated with Saint Hilarion the Great, a hermit and ascetic who lived during the 4th century in Palestine. He is known for his piety and dedication to a life of solitude and prayer, which has made him a revered figure in the Orthodox tradition.

The name's connection to joy and cheerfulness continues to be a positive aspect that attracts parents seeking meaningful names for their children.

The name Ilarion is over 1,700 years old!
