Zacceus Origin and Meaning

The name Zacceus is a boy's name.

Zacceus is a masculine name of Greek origin, representing a variant spelling of Zacchaeus (Greek: Ζακχαῖος), a biblical figure from the New Testament. In the Bible, Zacchaeus was a tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus and later underwent a spiritual transformation. The name derives from the Hebrew 'Zakkai,' meaning 'pure' or 'innocent.' While uncommon in contemporary usage, Zacceus carries spiritual significance for Christian families seeking a biblical name with meaningful associations. The alternative spelling gives this ancient name a slightly distinctive quality while maintaining its religious heritage and virtuous meaning.
