History & Origin
Zacchary is a respelling of Zachary that doubles the middle c. Zachary is the English short form of the Hebrew Zechariah, 'the Lord has remembered,' borne by a prophet and by the father of John the Baptist. The doubled-c spelling rode along quietly while Zachary soared in the nineteen-eighties and nineties.
Zacchary was never common in this spelling, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-nineties, far behind the standard Zachary. A boy named Zacchary then is in his early thirties today.
