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 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 Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament, which helped establish it across Christian-influenced cultures. Zacharias and Zachary are the principal Latin and English forms, while Zackary, Zachery, and Zackery represent modern variant spellings.
