Template:Infobox given name

Zechariah (Hebrew: זְכַרְיָה), with many variant forms and spellings such as Zachariah and Zacharias, is a theophoric masculine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "God/YHWH remembers". It comes from the Hebrew root זכר, meaning to remember,[1][2] and yah, one of the names of the God of Israel. Though Zechariah is the original transliteration of the name and used in the English translation of the Book of Zechariah, Zachariah, spelled with the letter A instead of the letter E, is more popular, with a common diminutive being Zach (also Zac, Zack, Zackie, and Zak). Due to its religious significance, variants of the name exist in numerous languages, and it is also used as a monastic or papal name.

The Arabic form of the name, Zakariya, with spelling variants (Zakariyya, Zakaria, Zekaria), is dealt with on a separate dedicated page, Zakariya.
