Lazó

Lazó is a term that appears in Hungarian-language onomastics as a proper noun. It can function as a masculine given name or as a surname in historical and regional records. In contemporary usage, Lazó is not a common word with a general meaning; it is encountered mainly as a name in documents and genealogical sources.

The precise origin of the name Lazó is not clearly established in widely available reference works. In onomastic contexts, it is sometimes presented as a distinct form, and in other cases it may be considered a variant or shortened form related to longer names that appear in Hungarian name traditions, such as László or Lázár. Variants with diacritics, when they occur in historical records, reflect standard Hungarian spelling conventions for names rather than ordinary vocabulary.

Notable individuals with the name Lazó are not widely documented in major encyclopedic sources, and the name does not have a widely recognized cultural or linguistic meaning beyond its use as a personal name. In scholarly discussions of Hungarian onomastics, Lazó is typically treated as a peripheral or historical name form rather than a common contemporary given name or surname.
