Zachory

Zachory is a masculine name that represents an alternative spelling of the more common Zachary, which derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), meaning "God has remembered." This variant spelling maintains the same pronunciation while offering a slightly different visual impression. Zachary, in its traditional form, has ancient roots, appearing in the Bible as the name of several figures, including the father of John the Baptist. While Zachary peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1990s, reaching the top 20 boys' names, the Zachory variant has remained significantly less common. This alternative spelling emerged as part of the modern trend toward personalized name spellings, offering a subtle distinction for parents who appreciate the traditional name but desire something slightly different.

Pronounced ZAK-or-ee.

As of October 2026, Zachory ranked #12235 in US births in 2012 SSA, peaked at #1803 in 1992.
