History & Origin

Zakeria is a feminine, softened form of Zachariah, the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning 'the Lord has remembered,' a name also honored in Arabic as Zakariya. The added -ria ending and the girl's usage are modern American touches. Whatever the spelling, the name carries its old sense of divine remembrance.

Zakeria was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point around 2001. A girl named Zakeria then is in her twenties today.

Did you know? Zakeria takes a name long given to boys as Zachariah or Zakariya and reshapes it for girls, part of a wider American habit of feminizing solid Biblical and Quranic names.
