History & Origin

Zakery is a modern spelling of Zachary, from the Hebrew prophet's name Zechariah, 'the Lord has remembered'. As Zachary surged into the top ranks for boys in the eighties and nineties, parents produced phonetic variants like Zakery, Zackery and Zakary to personalize the popular name.

It reached its high point around 1993 and stayed uncommon beside Zachary. A boy named Zakery then is now in his thirties. Zachary remains the standard; this spelling reads as a nineties variant, and Zak or Zach makes the natural short form on any spelling.

Did you know? Zakery streamlines Zachary by swapping the biblical -ch- for a simple k, one of many nineties respellings — Zackery, Zakary, Zackary — that rode the huge Zachary wave; it peaked around 1993.
