Zakary Origin and Meaning
The name Zakary is a boy's name.
Zakary is a modern masculine name variation of the traditional Hebrew name Zechariah, meaning 'God has remembered.' This contemporary spelling offers a fresh twist on the biblical classic while maintaining its rich heritage. The name appears throughout the Old Testament, most notably as a prophet whose writings form the Book of Zechariah. The variant spelling Zakary emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive yet recognizable names. While less common than the more traditional Zachary, Zakary offers a slightly edgier feel while keeping the familiar nickname Zak. Its popularity has fluctuated over recent decades, appealing to parents who appreciate the name's historical depth but desire a more unique option for their son.
