To be a little bit more specific: this name is the latinized form of Ζακχαιος (Zakchaios), the Greek form of the Hebrew name Zakkay. Also see:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zacchaeus (in English) - http://biblehub.com/greek/2195.htm (in English)I added this comment because the original Greek form is not featured in the entry for Zacchaeus, even though the entry mentions that the name comes from the Greek form of Zakkay.

Hitchcock's Dictionary of Bible names ALSO gives an additional meaning for Zacchaeus - that meaning is "just." The Greek form of Zacchaeus which is given in the New Testament is as follows: ζακχαιοςIn Hebrew, Zacchaeus looks like this: זכי
