Zac

Zac is an English short form of Zachary, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah, meaning God has remembered, composed of the elements zakar (to remember) and yah (a shortened form of the divine name). The name was borne by several figures in the Hebrew Bible, most notably the prophet Zechariah, and in the New Testament by Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist. Zac functions as both an informal nickname and an independent given name in modern English-speaking countries. Related forms include Zach, Zack, and the full names Zachary and Zachariah.
