Meaning and history

Zackery is a modern English spelling variant of Zachary. Zachary comes from Hebrew Zekharyah, meaning “Yahweh remembers.” Several biblical figures bear the related name Zechariah, including a prophet and, in the New Testament, the father of John the Baptist. The spelling Zackery reflects English phonetic styling rather than a different origin. Notable bearers include American football player Zackery Bowman and actor Zackery Torres.
