Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: The Lord recalled

Zacharie, and its many variants, is a masculine name with roots in Hebrew. Closely related to Zachariah and Zachary, the name means "the Lord recalled." The Lord will fondly recall Zacherie Elenga, a virtuoso guitarist and one of the founding fathers of modern Congolese music. Elenga had a unique way of stringing his guitar, replacing the D string with a second E string in a style he called "Hawaiian." He greatly admired American country legend Jimmy Rodgers, so much so that he dubbed himself "Jhimmy" with an "h." His fans, therefore, began to refer to him as "Jhimmy the Hawaiian" or simply, Jhimmy. Baby Zacharie may find themselves drawn to the art of music.
