Lazarashvili is a Georgian language patronymic surname. The name consists of two parts: the suffix, "Shvili" (meaning "the child of" in Georgian); and the prefix "Lazar" (from a Jewish phrase "El Azar", which means "God Helps"), or from the masculine given name Lazarus, translated to Lazare in Georgian. The ambiguation of meaning presents the possibilities "son of Lazarus" or "Son of the one whom God helps".
