Zakary

Boy name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zakary: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2005.

Zakary is a modern variant of Zachary, which itself stems from the Hebrew Zechariah, meaning "God has remembered." This spelling with a 'k' offers a sleek, contemporary twist on an ancient biblical name, often chosen by parents seeking a distinctive edge without straying far from tradition. Perhaps the most famous bearer is Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States, after whom the city of Zachary, Louisiana, is directly named. Though less common in Scotland than the standard Zachary or Zachariah, Zakary has appeared in Scottish birth records since the 1970s, reflecting the country's embrace of international naming trends. Its brisk, two-syllable rhythm pairs well with both classic and modern middle names.
