Meaning & Origin
Zakari is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, an alternate spelling of Zachary, from Zechariah, meaning 'God has remembered.'
This variant spelling gives a familiar biblical name a more distinctive look while keeping the same pronunciation and meaning. Parents drawn to Zachary but wanting something slightly less common often land on Zakari, Zacary, or Zakary as their preferred form. The name carries prophetic biblical weight — Zechariah being both a Hebrew prophet and the father of John the Baptist.
