Zakery
Meaning of Zakery
Zakery, a masculine given name of Hebrew provenance via the Greek and Latin traditions, derives from the Old Testament Zechariah and literally signifies “the Lord remembers.” In Anglo-American usage it functions as a contemporary variant of Zachary, preserving the original theological resonance while exhibiting a distinctive orthographic form. Statistical data from the United States Social Security Administration indicate that Zakery has consistently occupied a position among the nation’s rarer appellations: between 1977 and 2018 its annual incidence never exceeded eighty births and its popularity ranking fluctuated between 674 and 925, with a modest peak of seventy-seven recorded births (rank 702) in 1993 and a low of five births (rank 907) in 2018. Such figures attest to its enduring but unobtrusive presence within the corpus of Anglo-American male names, appealing to parents who favor a scholarly allusion to biblical heritage coupled with a subtly individualistic spelling.
