Thread Name: Origins: Dives and Lazarus-or vice versa(Child 56)
Subject: RE: Help: Dives and Lazarus - or vice versa
Thanks, Herga, I would have remembered eventually, but much too late to add it to this thread, and everyone interested would have already found it somewhere else by then! One thing not mentioned is that Lazarus' name was/is much more common in its Hebrew form, Eleazer. Lazarus was/is the Latin form, and not many were named such, but there were plenty of Eleazer's, at least into the late 19th c.
