Zachery

Zachery is an English given name and an alternate spelling of Zachary, which derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah, composed of the elements zakhar, meaning to remember, and yah, a shortened form of the divine name Yahweh, giving the overall sense of God has remembered. The name was borne by a minor Old Testament prophet and by the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament, ensuring its continued use through Christian tradition. It gained particular prominence in the United States partly through association with Zachary Taylor, the twelfth president. Related forms include Zacharias, Zachariah, and Zackary.
