Zachary is an English masculine personal name derived from Zacharias. Zachariah itself is the Latin form of the Hebrew âZekharyahuâ (×Ö°×֡רְ×Ö¸×) which means âYahweh has rememberedâ, This name includes two Hebrew elements: âyahuâ (Yahweh, God) and âZakharâ (he remembered). In the Bible, we see several people who have some versions of this name: Zachariah, Zechariah, and Zacharias. For instance, Zechariah was a prophet who lived in the 6th century B.C. during the reign of the Persian King Darius (The king who let the Jews go back to Babylonian and rebuild their temple) and was friendly to Jews.
Â
Here are some famous people named Zachary:
Zachary Taylor (U.S. President)
Zachary Scott (actor)
What are your babyâs characteristics like when you name him Zachary?
As a name, Eden suggests that you have a pioneering spirit. You are a natural-born leader who is highly focused and designs everything around achieving his goals. Enduring difficulty to try out new things is normal to you. It makes you angry that you have to do too many unimportant things. You are independent and decisive. Â You are also energetic and confident.
to be uncertain and uncertainty creates an inner battle for you. Sometimes, you might find it difficult to share what is in your mind. Unfortunately, youâll give up when you face a more aggressive person. It is because you try to avoid tension. You do not like to use force.
You might not be aware of this but you have a hidden power over other people; you must explore this power. You attract influence, and inspire people. You are lively, cheerful, optimistic, and charismatic. It is in your personality to see the glass half full.

Popularity:
Zachary was very popular among the Puritans but the name didnât see a huge frequency until the latter stages of the 20th century. Zachary's debut on Americaâs Top 1000 list was in 1946. Then, after 30 years it reached the Top 100 in 1976. From there the name pretty much went gangbusters. Its best year was in 1994 when it reached the 12th spot.
There are several reasons why this name is so appealing: it has strong connections to the Bible, there are not many names that start with Z, its short form (Zach) sounds very cool, and heâs a strong Number One in numerology

love it! My son's name is Zachary, only thing is people always shorten boys names. If you are thinking of the name, make sure you like the'shortened version too.
who in there right mind would name there kid thisâ¤ď¸
I am glad we named our son zachary. It is unique but not too unusual and i think it fits his outgoing and energetic personality
I love my name. I think it is a great name for a child. One thing that tends to happen though, is the parents will call the boy Zachary, but he will be know as Zach around his friends.
My name is Zach and people like to mispronounce it. However, I don't care so i've just started spelling it Z-a-t-c-h to accommodate for their ineptitude. I'm awesome.
My son's name is Zachary & we call him Zack for short. Like Michael - Mike, Nicholas, Nick, as well as Jack, back, pack, Mack, etc..we felt that Zack, with a "k" was more appropriate...But if other's like Zach, it is all a personal preference...
when i was young, i spelled my name "Alexis" because i was sick of people asking me why my name was spelled differently. Now, i really love the individuality in it & how i don't know anyone else who spells it the'same way. although i usually have to spell my name for people for them to get it right, but i get so many compliments for it and It'sets me aside from the other girls.
Lot's of mispellings on this one...never knew there were so many ways to spell it, even'the "nickname" can be Zach, Zac, Zak or Zack!â¤ď¸!
My names Zachary and I just graduated from WIU and I love the name Zach. Yeah there is a few nicknames but what name does not have some. I really never had trouble with it. Pretty much the only nickname i ever had was charlie hustle (baseball). I really never'saw anything wrong with it and no one overly famous has it to compare me too.
zachary is the name of this kid next to me right now. and he is a tubby boy, no one should name their kid that. its a horrible name!!!
Zachariah is a beautiful name. It is my grandson'name. I love it. We call him Zachy and he is a blessing.
Our beautiful son Zachary was born in Aprilthis year, but we had had his name chosen for years beforehand! We love the name and had so many compliments on it when he was born. It's not overly common, yet not 'weird' either!! We sometimes use 'Zach' as well, but he can choose what he prefers as he grows up.
my future husband's name is Zachary. maybe You're familiar with..ZAC EFRON!
My son's name is Zachary and it completely fits him. I love the name because It's not too trendy. It's funny because we call him Bubba just like the previous person wrote.
I do not like this name.I think it must be an American'thing !!!
My name is Zachary (Zach) People spell it different ways: Zachary (correctly in my case), Zackary, Zachery. Zackery, Zac, Zach, Zack, etc. Its very frustrating!
I LOVE MY NAME.AM QUITE POPULAR AND HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS CALLING ME ZACK AND THEY FIND IT CUTE. I LOVE IT
My 9 month old baby is Zachary, and we call him Zach and Zachary is equal measure. His daddy call's him Zachy sometimes. We absolutely love it although many of our family and friends thought it was an unusual choice. My little boy is very boisterous and i think is so suits him, my mum now loves it, says she cant imagine him being anything else now. The only problem is if we have another boy i really cant find anything i think goes well that we both like.. i need to keep looking.
Hey my name is Zachary and I actually just go by Zach, probably will when I'm older too. I'm 20 and i've ran into a great deal of Zach's along the way and we even ask the question of do you spell it with an "h" or a "k". i've gotten from family friends, zach attack and zachariah. But overall I love my name and wouldn't change it for anything.
i get "zacKary a lot it a whole different name and once some1 called me zaCH with the ch emisized
My son's name is Zachary. I love it and so does he. It really is a cool name.
Ever'since I was a little girl, I was going to name my son Zachary Asher (biblical meaning: Happy/Blessed) after the little boy I played with next door & my best friend was going to name her'son Joshua Alexander & her husband (their small town doctor) knew this well ahead of time. But when'their son was born, he put the name Zachary Alexander (I like this middle name, too, but really like Asher better) on the birth certificate. Boy were we upset! So after much thought & consideration, when my son was born I named him Joshua Benjamin (an old family name that goes back generations). It really worked out well in the end. Joshua/"Josh" really fits my ash-blonde, blue eyed son & Zachary/"Zack" fits her red-headed son in the end & I wouldn't have it any other way. But I still love the name Zachary Asher.
I get people callin me ZaCH and pronounce the CH. My School put my name down as ZachEry, (primary and Secoundary) it annoys me SOOOOOO much It's the best name EVER i go by Zach Mostly
My Zachary, born in the 90's, started school with 2 other Zachary's in his class!
My name happens to be Zacheri (Yes its spelled differently) and i go by Zach all the way back to two months after i was born.A lot people judge my by my hair and i always a hoodie but ive always been called nice in the end and my name is the only one in my school and im 12
my grand father was born in 1919 and he was a Zachary
I know a guy named zach at my school and he'said he wouldn't care if i was gone, saying that if the'school was shot up he wants me to die
I was going to be named Zacharias (Spanish pronunciation) but since we live in America my parents preferred to Anglicize the name and go with the english "Zachary," which is a fine name, but not as expressive of my culture.
My name is zachary but i have changed it to both Zach and Zac during my life. Ive stuck with Zac and now im 17 and i play lacrosse
Worst chav name of the lot. What were you all thinkingâ¤ď¸ Your kids will now grow up being inevitably labelled as thick chavs. Heartless.
Zachary is my oldest son's name and I LOVE the name! When he got to school and friends shortened it to Zac - he chose the'spelling Zac and still uses it today. At 6 years old, he explained to people that ch in the middle of a word has a soft c sound but at the end of a word it has the ch sound as in church - so he didn't want It'spelled Zach.
I am thinking about naming my boy Zachary...but i don't know.
When I was a little girl everyone called me Sammy. I hated my name then. But I like it now. My best friends call me Sam. I pefer to be called Samantha by boyfriends, though, It'sounds sexy!
I can't help but think of the names hillbilly, country bumpkin, dud. I don't understand why it is so popular!
I plan on naming my son that I am due with Zachery.........I love it!!
A lot of people spell it with a K instead of an H.
we just had our little girl, and named her AIYANA as in aye-yah -nah people love the name ...and we too thought it was american indian meaning eternal bloom......as my wife has american indian in her lol we are also form n.z and im not to fussed about the teasing as kids always mock or tease othe's anyway...rather her be teased after a fruit rather than other things lol
I don't know, honestly. I prefer it spelled "Zachary" but hey, just an opinion. Maybe I will look into the spelling some time.
Definitely better than Joey by a lot. A LOT REALLY A LOT LIKE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH BETTER ZACH IS THAN JOEY
My name is Zak and I'm not sure home people spell it that way but I think It's cool bedside I don't know anyone that'spells it that way or knows to spell it that way
i've got a zach...zachary...he is our zach attack. loves his name..(19 years old) what a cutie, smart too, plays the'sax and lacrosse...great name for a guy
My son Zachary was born 2 months early and my other 4 children chose the name for him. He turned out to be an amazing and wonderful child. I don't really think the name got him there, but maybeâ¤ď¸ He was like a Budda to us all, family and friends alike. He taught us to embrace life. He died at 13 and one half years old, a true tragedy. We will always miss him; mother, siblings, dear friends and teache's from middle school!
all I know is that I love my name. I used to think that not very many people had the name Zachary until today. I honestly don't care if people spell it with a c, k, or q I just like the name. I like the full name Zachary the best because no body really says Zachary, They just say zack or Zach. I don't get why people are bothered by the'spelling. Who cares how you spell it just make sure you don't say it wrong.
I love my name. I think it is a great name for a child. One thing that tends to happen though is the parents will call the boy Zachary but he will be know as Zach around his friends.
My son Zachary is 18 months old and his name absolutely suits him. We were going to call him Zeke but made a last minute change, and I am glad we did. We call him Zach most of the time and Zachary when he is being naughty :-)His older'sister calls him ZiZi which I think is quite sweet.
My best friends name is zach but i always spell it wrong. he gets mad bout it but i think it is funny
My first grandchild born April19th 2021, his name is Zach..what a wonderful name and from reading the postings on here, a very promising name too! I have worried whether people will spell his name correctly as he grows, but hey, thats what makes it a little different. Thanks for your posting everyone.
I love it on brunettes for some reason! If I imagine it on a blonde I think of them as Jocky Football star Jerk but when It's on a brunette..It'seems..softer..and sweet. <3
My 12 year old nephew is named Zachary. The meaning of the name, Rememer the Lord, is very powerful! I was there when he was born, and i know the Lord was with our family that day. When Zachary was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with Juvenile type 1 diabetes. Our family has gathered around my nephew and his family, and we know that the Lord has his hand in it all!
too familliear there are 13 kelseys in my school, why cant i be amberâ¤ď¸
My boyfriends name is zachary but i call him zach like everyone else! i didnt know it was as commen as my name "Emily" andas far as i know there is only 3 zachary's/zach's in my school! SO I LOVE THE NAME ZACH!! also because It'says that zachary means "Rember the Lord!"
My name is Zachary and I appreciate the Z there, it adds itself well into signatures. I'm very picky on the'spelling, though: Correct: Zachary. Zack. Incorrect: Zachery, Zackary, Zackery, Zacherie, Zackarie, Zakary, Zakery, Zakerie, Zakarie. Zach, Zac.
Good name for me, people tell me that all the time
Here i am laughing at my friend Zachary because we all hate Zac Efron. He lip synchs!!!
Zach was not a nice person at all. He was arrogant about his name and picked zach even'though he had a "ryan" as well.
This is my son's name that was born in 2017. We named him Walker Lane. Everyone always thinks it is a famly name, but it is not we just loved the way It'sounds.
What a stupid name noone names there baby boy babyboy! idiots!
I don't really like my name. Zachary just doesn't have much of a phonetic quality to it.
my bf's called Zac and i think its a reealy cute name!! :D x
This is my cat's name! I really like the name and would consider calling my daughter that.
I spell my name Zack
My son's name is Zakery. Yes we spell it differently but its all the'same. We normally call him Zak unless he is in trouble then its Zakery Jordyn, not just Zak. He knows then he is in for it. :) We have never met anyone else with the'same spelling as him and that makes him even more unique. Zak was the last name in the baby book that my husband and I could agree on and his name just suits him fine!
When and if I ever have a little girl her middle name will be Gracelyn. (Elena Gracelyn)
It's a beautiful name, masculine in nature. It's a name both muslims and christians do answer. so It's unique.
Why would you torure you children by naming them last namesâ¤ď¸ Seems to be inspired from deep intellectual talks that began at barnes and noble. The oohs and ahhs came while drinking a mocha latte right before the yoga class, which brings out the "freedom" in you. How unique. Madison is one of your nieces I bet.
We couldn't decide on Zachary or Zachariah. We gave in to Zachary. Myself and his older sister are the only ones that call him by his given name. Everyone else calls him Zach.
My cousin's name is Zachary but we call him Zach. He is five years old and is very funny! He all ready has his adult voice!!
I like Zac spelled Zachery best. I think it looks better this way.
I named my first son Zachary, I love the name and all variations of it. We his parents call him Zachy often and his preschool friends and teachers call him Zach. He says he prefers to go by Zach. It is just a cool name all around with a powerful meaning.
My fiance is named Zach. He hates it when people call him Zak with a k or Zac with a c and no h. And he can't imagine being a 65-year-old Zachary. None of the four people in this room have met an old Zach. But, we like the name.
HE IS A PRO WWE WRESLER. HIS ACCHUL NAME IS TRIPLE H
I know this guy named Zach and he's really awesome. I love the name becuz of him! I'm definitely going to name one of my kids, Zachary! And call him Zach for short, tho...
I named my son (born this past July) Zachary but we call him Zach. I love the name. Every Zach i've known has been both a decent and fun spirit and it fits my son - he's very inquisitive and is always ready with a smile. I still haven't decided how we'll spell it - Zach, or Zac but I guess that's something he can decide when he's old enough :)
So my mother though Zachary was an uncommon name when she first named me, but looking at this graph it appears it was THE most popular when she named me. Quite ironic. Anyway, it feels weird looking at all these people with the name Zac(h[k])... It's like reading what your clone posts. But I do like my name very much.
Zach makes me think of a fun, smart, active kid who Isn't too full of himself. Love the name Zachary!
I do like the name zachary ~ this is my husbands name and he does not like it AT ALL. Only those who want to make him angry call him Zachary as he will quickly tell you his name is Zach. He was zach the lego maniac as a kid and hated it! ha
Don't like it. 'Zach' sounds just like 'Sack' - so awful!
HI'my name is Zac (well Zachary but i tell everybody my names zac cuss i hate the name Zachary!)
zackary is a cute name and every guy i know named zackary is cute lol like zackary becker that is in my 3 periods hot hot hot hot hot hot
My brother name is Zachary I think its a cool name and more boys should have zachary as a name.
I love the name Zachary, and I also think that the nickname Zach is really cool too !!! If I ever have a baby boy I will absolutely name him Zachary... I said to myself a long time ago that if I ever have a baby boy I will name him Zachary just because I love that name !!!
I like Zac a lot better It's more modern and funky!! Just like Jesse!
My name is Zachary and I think it is the best name in the world (no offence). If you are thinking about giving your childs name Zachary I think you should go for it, and he will be happy because I am happy my name is Zachary.
I always thought by naming my youngest son zachary that he would be called zac for short... this wasnt the case... due to having young kids in the family, he quickly became zaccy... I hated it to begin with, but i think i use it more then anyone now...
I love the name , its unique but not so much that It'sticks out too much, its cool having a name that'starts with a Z. Im glad im not named something extremely popular.
My son name is spelled Zacharie I Love it.
this name reminds of a scrawny guy...i like it though (:
I love the name, I have a 10 month old and he is very, very active. (He was named after his great-great grandfather Zachariah) However, we are thinking about changing his middle name to Dylan just to give him an alternative if he doesn't want to go by Zach as he gets older. I love the meaning, but it can sound kinda young when a boy is becoming a teen-ager. Any thoughtsâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸ I would like to hear from some older Zachary's if I can. thx.
my full name is zachary and im a leo. i usually go be zack. :) i was looking to see if there are any common things about "zacks''. IM TURNING 21 IN I LOOK 14, it gets annoying when 99% of new people, even friends..Cant help but telling you, you look so young. i have gotten used to it for the most part. im still a classic "leo" when is comes to personality.. but it is becoming a lot harder to be social and meet new people. so my real question here is, i honestly dont knowâ¤ď¸ is there light at the end of the tunnel, or any light at allâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Not Zach.. Zachary is very powerful and beautiful name.
This is my sons name and means "Little Warrior" in Irish. There is no better name, other than my little girls name
My son's name is Zachary, he is 16 and prefers Zak. If I had to do it all over I would have named him Zachariah instead, it is far less common.
My son who is 10 months is Zachary Austin. I love the name It's manly and strong name unlike some of these trendy sissy boy names. Zachary is a tried and true name. My husband did ask, can we spell his shortened version Zacâ¤ď¸ I thought it was neat.
Zachary.... hmm.... A annoying brother but I still love him sometimes
My husband wanted to name our son Zachary. We used the traditional spelling so he wouldnt have problems like in school and such. I didnt think of it as a very grown up "manly" name but it has grown on me. We call him Zack for short. We spell it with a ck, cause I think it looks better than Zach.
My name is Zack (short for Zachary) and I always get questioned on how to spell it. Recently I was thinking about switching to "ZACH" since it makes sense, however I have chosen'to spell it ZACK for as long as I can remember. Thanks to the comment on the abbreviations on Michael (Mike) and Nicholas (Nick) from a previous post I will proudly continue with Zack. I suggest you do the'same as well. By the way, "ZAC" is just weird, don't put your kid through that kind of torture!
my husbands name is zachery. and he spells is nickname Zac also. Z.A.C. is also his initials. I love his name so much that we are naming our baby after him when he is born later this year.
YES THIS IS MY NAME, I 'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT IT. I THINK I SHOULD HABE BEEN NAMED CHRISTINE.
My oldest son's name is Zachary and he loves it! He likes for me to call him Zachy and likes to tell everyone we meet his name. I am really glad I chose it, it Isn't weird and It'starts with a "Z" so of course it is fun to say.
I named my son Zackory. My friend gave me the idea. 'Kory' is my husband's middle name. So we changed Zachary to Zackory. I love it and It'suits the little guy!
My brothe's name is Zach and no one ever'spells it right. We just call him Bubba
I really like this name. It really does sound like it would be a boy's name and It'suits the male gender well.
My incredible son is Zachary (beautiful and brilliant). People want to call him ZACK.....but he prefers if they do, to spell it ZACK! In sports, his nickname was Zippy...he loved that too! Maxie
Zachary Quinn Asare Bediako... Jehovah remembers the wise warrior... My oldest brother took the place of my father growing up and he never had children so to honor him I named my oldest son Zachary. I always liked the name Quinn and our surname means warrior. His name fits him to a T.
the guy from Pokemon was named Lance and he was a total baller. I'm naming my sons Lance 1, 2, and 5 because of him.
Everyone likes my name. I think It's a cool name. I'meet people all the time named Zach. There is like 20 guys namede Zach at my high school.
I Know alot of people named Zachary and their all a pain in the neck! One's my Cousin and he's the best of them all.
does spelling really matterâ¤ď¸ if it is spelled zackary, does it take away from the meaningâ¤ď¸
Im a Zac (Zachary) and I like it. I feel its different but normal, with several possible spellings. I really cant stand to spell my name with the "ch" cuz I think of the "ch" like in catch so I have to have it with a "k" or just a "c". I cant go with Zachary cuz its too long for me. I also cant go by Zack with the "K" cuz here in Germany It means something horrible for a name'so I just Keep It'simple Zac. :)
dear alu and dina, you have chosen a very good name. the 12th president of the usa was named zachary taylor. more important: in hebrew it means 'remember the Lord.' hopefully Zachary's coming in our family will bring G'd's blessings to all of us. Dina .. you stay cool. read good books. pls pass on this email to alu.. messages emailed from hotmail do not go thro. ema wants to know if everything went well at the docs. G'd bless you all pappi
I love the musical lilt to the name Zachary, the three syllables flow nicely. Also, the fuzzy Z followed by the hard "k" in the middle makes it very masculine sounding without being too harsh. Great name.
I named my 2 year old Zachary Mason. I get annoyed when people call him Zach. he's only 2, not 12!! I think the name Zachary is strong, powerful, & It's not the'same as every other kid on the playground.
My doctors name is Zachary Leg, very unusual since he was born in communist China. Apparently he is gifted in martial arts and acupuncture therapy. Although I don't call him anything other than Dr. Leg, he once told me that in China 'zac' is a common addition to many names, but is silent when pronounced....not sure why he told me this, but very inter'sting. If you are ever in need of a good doctor who specializes in skin growth disorders, Dr. Zachary Leg is one of the best in the greater Las Vegas area.
My name is Zachary. Go by Zaq though. The best way to say it is moaning, with a not Asian accent.
My name is Zachary, and I'm 13. I go by Zack because people have always called me that. I hate it when people spell my name Zach because the "h" at the end of the name makes people pronounce it rhyming with cat"ch". But other than that issue, I love the name because nobody else at my school has it.
I'm 29 and had a friend from grad school who went by Zach. He was a nice, popular guy! I don't think It'sounds too young at all, It's a good name even for an adult. I would definitely consider it for my baby, if I was having one. :) Zachary or Zach is a fine name, so I would save "Dylan" for his brother, in case you have another boy.
Its p sweet my names Zachary i've gone by Zac pretty much my entire life.
I spell it with a "k" and most of the time people spell it wrong.
My name is Zachary. I shorten it to Zack. I'm going into my senior year in High School, but the newspaper'still spells my name Zach. That is really the only time there is a mix-up with my name.
