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.
Zackery moved from #738 to #914 for boys between 2010 and 2011. Its highest annual birth count came in 1994, with 861 births.
