An uncommon Hebrew pick — distinctive and rare.
A diminutive of the male given names Zachariah or Zachary.
Zach is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a short form of Zachariah or Zachary, from the Hebrew meaning 'God has remembered.' Crisp and energetic, Zach works beautifully as both a standalone name and a nickname, carrying the biblical weight of Zechariah in just four easy letters.
Zach was #1717 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2434, but its charm endures.
