History & Origin

Zekhi is a recent American coinage with no documented lineage. Its sound places it beside Zeke, the familiar short form of Ezekiel ('God strengthens'), and Zaki, an Arabic name meaning 'pure; bright'. Families differ over how they say it.

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, coined, and modern.
