The Story of Zachery
Zachery is a variant spelling of Zachary, which derives from the Hebrew Zechariah meaning God has remembered or remembered by God. Zechariah was an important name in the Old Testament — there are over 30 people named Zechariah in the Hebrew Bible, including a major prophet and the father of John the Baptist. The name was shortened to Zachary in English-speaking countries.
Zachary peaked in the US during the 1990s, entering the top 10 in 1994. US President Zachary Taylor gave the name early prominence in the 19th century. The name has since declined substantially as parents moved to newer choices.
In the New Testament, Zacharias was the priest and father of John the Baptist who was struck mute when he doubted the angel Gabriel's announcement. The name carries deep Judeo-Christian heritage.
