Zacheriah
Meaning of Zacheriah
Zacheriah is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Zachariah derived from the Hebrew Zaḵaryāh, meaning “God remembers.” It appears in the Old Testament as the name of a prophet who urged the restoration of Jerusalem’s temple, lending the name a sense of enduring faith and historical depth. Though it has been consistently recorded in U.S. birth data since the late 1970s, Zacheriah remains rare—annual tallies typically range from five to twenty-eight newborns, with Social Security rankings hovering between the mid-600s and low-900s. Pronounced zuh-KAIR-ee-uh, the name offers families a distinctive yet familiar choice that bridges biblical tradition and modern individuality.
