Zaharinka

Zaharinka is a Bulgarian and Macedonian feminine given name derived from the Greek name Zacharias, which itself traces back to the Hebrew Zekharyah, meaning God has remembered, composed of the elements zakhar (to remember) and yah (a shortened form of the divine name Yahweh). It functions as a feminine diminutive form within the South Slavic naming tradition, adding the suffix -inka to convey endearment or familiarity. The masculine counterpart in the same tradition is Zahari, and the name shares its ultimate root with the widely used Zachary, Zacharias, and Zacchaeus across various European languages.
