Zackary

Zackary is a variant spelling of the biblical name Zachary, which is derived from the Hebrew name Zechariah. The name Zechariah means "the Lord has remembered" in Hebrew, likely referring to God's remembrance of his people or his promises.

In the Bible, Zechariah was a prophet who lived in the 6th century BCE and wrote the book of Zechariah in the Old Testament. His name was also borne by several other minor figures in the Bible.

The name Zachary has been in use as a given name since at least the Middle Ages, particularly in Christian communities. The variant spelling Zackary emerged more recently, likely as a way to give the name a more unique or modern look.

While the name Zackary has its origins in the Hebrew language and biblical tradition, it has been adopted and used by various cultures and communities over the centuries.
