Zaccaria Origin and Meaning

The name Zaccaria is a boy's name.

Zaccaria is a masculine name of Italian and Hebrew origin, representing the Italian form of Zechariah or Zachary. It derives from the Hebrew name 'Zekharyah,' meaning 'God has remembered.' The name carries biblical significance as Zechariah was a prophet in the Old Testament. Zaccaria has a melodic, flowing quality characteristic of Italian names, with its rhythmic four syllables and soft consonants. While more common in Italy and among Italian diaspora communities, it remains relatively rare in English-speaking countries, offering a distinctive alternative to the more popular Zachary. The name combines historical depth with an elegant, somewhat exotic sound that has timeless appeal.
