Meaning: Yahweh remembers; God has remembered

Zackary is a boy’s name of Hebrew and Greek origin. This traditionally Biblical name translates to “Yahweh remembers” or “God has remembered” and is a diminutive of Zachariah. In the Hebrew Bible, Zachariah was the father of John the Baptist. As the story goes, Zachariah was so shocked by his wife’s pregnancy occurring past her supposed child-bearing years that he was struck literally speechless and deaf until the birth of his son, when God restored his abilities. Zackary puts a modern flair on this traditional name, allowing you to pay tribute to your faith with a distinct style if you so wish.
