It can also be pronounced with 1 syllable, as in /ˈzæk.ɹi/ "ZAK-ree".

There's an alternate spelling of this name which, I'm not kidding, is Xaiquiri, like the drink. It is pronounced exactly like the English version: /zæk.ə.ɹi/.

I really like this name. It’s my best friend’s name. I don’t know if I would have liked it otherwise. But he’s been my best friend since I was almost three. I call him Zach most of the time, but some people call him Zachary. It’s a good name.

Yes, we understand that Zachary is a form of Zachariah, and that it is from the bible, that it is from Hebrew/Egypt origins, BUT WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE NAME? Isn't that the point of this site?I'm sorry to come off like a d-bag, but does anyone know the answer? Please let me know. Thanks so much!😊
Not all names have a known meaning. If the meaning is not included in the description, it may help to check the comments, under the "meaning" section. In this case, Zachary contains a root meaning "memory" or "God remembers."

As a Zachary myself, I love the name I chose. I go by Zach most of the time but every once in a while, hearing my full name is nice. I don't see a good argument for why it's a bad name to have. I've never seen too strong of a bad rep for it. I've never been picked on for it either. It may not roll off the tongue as good as other names but I feel like that suits my personality well.
All Zak/Zachs I've met have been awesome people. My youngest brother is named Zachary, and I call him either "Zach" "Zachy" "Zach Attack" and "Zachary". Zachary is nice but I try to avoid naming things with long names. People tend to cut it down so it's quicker to say, so I wish my mom just used the name Zak.
I really don't like to be called Zachary because it is formal, too long, cringing, weird, and I don't see it as a part of my identity so yes I go by Zach cause I don't like the name Zachary. I declare that I will only answer to Zach and other names that you all call me I will ignore you until you call me Zach. I prefer to be called Zach not Zachary.
Doesn’t really sound like an adult‘s name, yet oddly it is such a dated name at the same time, pretty much anyone who has this name is well into adulthood but it still sounds like a little kid name.

Zachary is too long so I prefer you call him Zach.
I think this is a hella cool name. Definitely one of my favorites. My friends say that if I were to rename myself, I would fit Zachary Matthew. I like that combination, tbh. Also, sounds very sexy/attractive. I've honestly had crushes on guys named Zachary, lol.
Kind of funny that this is a male name meaning sugar, even though it sounds like the word, when most 'sickly' names are usually female, like Charlotte, Emma, Alice, etc (no offense, those names are still pretty).
In 2018, 17 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Zachary who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 99th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.

Zachary comes from the Hebrew root Zacharia, which means 'remember'.
Being a Zachary is an odd experience, one that has made me hate Zachary stereotypes, i.e. Zach is just that stoner guy at parties- you know, that one guy that is always judged like he's Shaggy from Scooby Doo, other than that I see nothing wrong with my name. I'm honest, caring, nonviolent. I have very twisted beliefs that settle around diesm and transhumanism. I wake up every day just like the rest of the world but because I am a Zach, I dunno, I feel like I just see the world differently. Like I can conquer the world if I really tried. I have always wanted to be remembered for something. Though I probably will never make a long lasting impact on the world.
I really like the name Zachary. The nickname Zach I love as well! I have met many Zachary’s in my life & all of them have been amazing nice boys! This makes me like it!
Formerly I didn't consider it as a good name, especially in our country the way they pronounce it in the Swahili language, but after knowing this movie star Zac Efron I started to like it and consider it as a good name. I like the way the name sounds when it is shortened 'Zac' since I knew Zac Efron. I've never thought of calling any of my sons this name because I don't feel it as a good name. Nathan is the name that I like most in this world and I must name my son that name.
I knew a kid named Zachary, or Zach, back when I was just a kid, too. Everybody thought his was the most awesome name on that side of town and he was the coolest kid in school each year, K thru 12, by far, without a doubt. I heard he went on to win like 12 different radio station popularity contests, and that he now lives in a mansion with a bunch of gorgeous young females who fan him all day with fresh palm leaves while he sips Mai Tai's and tells fascinating stories from his days as a lifeguard/fireman. I wish I had his name. Oh, how I wish this wish. For Zachary is far better than Homer, or Dennis, or Flacco, or Bernie, or Woodrow, or even Boris. It seems like an automatic chick-magnet reserved for the coolest of cool's cool. Kinda like Sir Arthur Fonzarelli, Rambo, or Blaaze, but more like, Zachary. I heard the kid turned 21-years-old, eight times in-a-row. Awesome. To all the Zach's out there... I wish I was just like each one of you! Tell us some stories, please! Maybe I should change my name to Zachary and tell everyone I was born that way? I don't want to get in trouble. Love you guys!... Like, A LOT!
Omg I love the name Zachary so much! It's so classy and handsome and perfect. You can't go wrong with the nicknames Zack/Zac/Zach! This name ROCKS! :D.

This is my name, and I despise it. It is far too common. I would prefer to be named something like Jacen, Zekk, Perseus, Anakin, Merlin, Achilles -- anything but Zachary. Those are far superior, and much rarer. Besides, the name is too similar to Zacharias Smith for my liking,
Zachary may be a fairly common name, but it's very versatile. It fits a person's age no matter how young or old. I have liked the name since I was very young. I watched the movie "Hocus Pocus" and the character, Zachary Binx (played by Sean Murray, now McGee on NCIS), was my favorite.
One of my favorite names of all time. It sounds handsome, strong and youthful (yet ages well). It also helps that I have a good friend named Zachary who is one of the sweetest guys you'd ever meet.
Zachary "Zack" Morris on the tv show, Saved by the Bell. Zack, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar, is often referred to as "Preppy" by his friend AC Slater. He is a charming schemer who often breaks the fourth wall by addressing the audience, sometimes temporarily freezing all of the characters around him in the process. Zack's schemes, though amusing, often backfire, resulting in unexpected outcomes.
Zachary Uriah "Zack" Addy is on of the main characters on the television show Bones, based on the life of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs. Dr. Addy is played by Eric Millegan.
I really like this name. I think it is a strong boys name. I plan to use it as a middle name with "William." I don't know where people are getting the impression of the brooding metrosexual. When I think of a Zachary I think of a very energetic, fun-loving boy.
This is my brother's name. It's cute, but it's way too common for me, I much prefer Zachariah. I often wonder what my parents were smoking when they named him.
It is a nice name, and I like how it sounds, but I think it is getting WAY too common for me. It wasn't as common when I was little, but today it is more common than I thought. I do like the nickname Zack or Zach.
I like Zachary! Maybe when I'm older I'll name my son Zachary then he could go by Zack or Zach.

This is my cousin's name but I don't really like it. However I think it is really cool what an above poster said about Zachary being sort of connected to the Greek word for sugar, because my name is sort of related to the Chinese word for chocolate, so it is kind of interesting that two cousins would have such "sweet" names, by total coincidence (I mean our parents didn't plan that or anything).
I love this name. It is so nice and much better than Zackary or Zack. I have a brother named Zachary and we call him Zachary or Zach. It looks so much better than with a k.

I like the name Zachary for some reason, but the origin has always confused me. See, the word 'zachari' (æÜ÷áñç) is Greek for 'sugar', and even if the words are pronounced differently, the name Zachary always makes me think of 'Zachari'.

I had always liked the name Zachary but when we were thinking about naming one of our sons this name, people kept telling us how much they hated the name so we named our son Adam.

Zachary or Zack is a very ugly name. I don't know why anyone would ever want to name their son this.

When I think about the name Zachary I think bad-boy with brooding eyes.
