History & Origin

Zakyus is a modern American coinage in the Zacchaeus family. Zacchaeus renders Hebrew Zakkai, 'pure; innocent', and belongs in the Gospel of Luke to a tax collector of Jericho. The -us ending gives the name a Roman ring, part of a broader fashion for -us and -ius names. The spelling is new, so we note the routes as uncertain (said 'ZAK-ee-us').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined, and biblical at the root.

Did you know? Behind Zakyus stands Zacchaeus, whose name means 'pure' — the tax collector who, in Luke's Gospel, climbs a sycamore tree to see over the crowd.
