Exegesis
The indefinite subject tis {τις | tis} ‘a certain one’ is then narrowed by the appositional proper name Lazaros {Λάζαρος | Lázaros}, so the verse first introduces an unspecified man and then identifies him.
In context — John 11:1
Now there was a certain man named Lazarus who was ill; he was from Bethany , from the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
