What Does the Name Zacherie Mean?
Zacherie is a spelling variant of the English name Zachary, which comes from the Hebrew name זְכַרְיָה (Zekharyah). That Hebrew name joins zakhar, a verb meaning "to remember," with Yah, a shortened form of the divine name. Read literally, it means "Yahweh has remembered"; the customary English translation is "the Lord has remembered." The name entered Greek as Ζαχαρίας (Zacharias) and Latin as Zacharias, and English has two common forms of it: Zechariah, used for the Old Testament prophet and closer to the Hebrew spelling, and Zachary, which came through the Greek and Latin of the New Testament. Zacherie carries the same origin and meaning; only the spelling differs. It is not related to the similar-sounding Zacchaeus, which comes from a different Hebrew root.
Zacherie Name History & Origins
The name belongs to several figures in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a prophet whose writings are counted among the twelve minor prophets. In the Gospel of Luke it is also the name of the priest who was the father of John the Baptist, given there in the Greek form Zacharias. English Bibles of the 1500s and 1600s used Zechariah for the Old Testament figures and Zacharias or Zachary for the New Testament priest, and from the Reformation onward Zachary became established as an English given name. It was also borne by an eighth-century pope, Zachary, who reigned from 741 to 752.
The French form of the name is Zacharie. Zacherie belongs to a group of English spellings - alongside Zachery - that end in -ie or -y instead of -ary, a pattern English often uses for familiar or informal forms of names. This particular spelling is uncommon and is best understood as one of these respelled variants of Zachary rather than as a distinct name with its own separate history.
