Zack

Zack is an English given name functioning as both a short form and an independent spelling variant of Zachary, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah, meaning God has remembered. The biblical prophet Zechariah and the New Testament figure Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, gave the name lasting religious prominence across many cultures. Zack gained popularity as a standalone given name in the twentieth century, particularly in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Zach, Zachary, Zackary, and the more traditional Zacharias.
