Zackary

Zackary is an English given name functioning as an alternate spelling of Zachary, which derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah, composed of the elements zakar, meaning to remember, and yah, a reference to the Hebrew god. The name was borne by a prophet of the Hebrew Bible and by Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament, giving it longstanding religious significance. Zachary gained particular prominence in the United States partly through Zachary Taylor, the twelfth president. Related forms include Zachary, Zacharias, Zachariah, and Zechariah.
