Zackery

Zackery 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, referring to the Hebrew god. The name was borne by a minor Old Testament prophet and later by Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament, giving it longstanding religious significance. Zachary Taylor, the twelfth president of the United States, helped establish the name's popularity in the English-speaking world. Related forms include Zachary, Zackary, Zachery, and the Hebrew Zechariah.
