History & Origin

Zakry is a variant spelling of Zachary, the English form of the biblical Zechariah, from the Hebrew for 'the Lord has remembered.' The pared-down spelling reflects a modern American taste for reshaping a classic into something visually distinctive.

It stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1993 and fading within two decades. A boy named Zakry would be a young adult of the millennial generation today.

Did you know? Zakry drops the vowels of Zachary to a bare Zak-ry, part of a late-century trend for compact, streamlined spellings of familiar boys' names.
