Zac is a masculine name of Hebrew origin. It is a derivative of names like Zack, Zachary, and Zechariah, which mean "Yah remembers” or “God remembers.” In the Old Testament, Zechariah is a Hebrew prophet who helped spread God's word. Zechariah also features in the New Testament as the father of John the Baptist.
