If http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lazarus is correct: "Via Late Latin Lazarus from Ancient Greek Λάζαρος (Lazaros), the New Testament Greek form of Old Testament Hebrew אֶלְעָזָר (el'azár), literally “God has helped”; see Eleazar." --wiktionary.org Then in both the Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentatuech at Exod 6:23 it is spelled aleph-lamed-ayin-zayin-resh without these letters, then it does not mean 'El has helped'.
