History and Origin
Zachary is a male given name, a variant of Zechariah – the name of several Biblical characters.
English form (pre-dating the Authorized Version) of the New Testament Greek name Zacharias, a form of Hebrew Zechariah. In the New Testament it is the name of the father of John the Baptist, who underwent a temporary period of dumbness for his lack of faith (Luke 1), and of a more obscure figure, Zacharias son of Barachias, who was slain ‘between the temple and the altar’ (Matthew 23: 35; Luke 11: 51). Like many biblical names, it is now out of fashion, although in the United States it is familiar as the name of a 19th-century president, Zachary Taylor. In the Highlands of Scotland it has been used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Sgàire.
Variants: Zacharias, Zachariah, Zechariah.
Cognate: Scottish Gaelic: Sachairi.
