Zacheria

Zacheria is an archaic or less common variant of the name Zechariah. Zechariah is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "God has remembered." The name is prominent in the Bible, appearing in both the Old Testament (as a prophet) and the New Testament (as the father of John the Baptist). The spelling "Zacheria" is a valid but less frequently used transliteration of the Hebrew name. Individuals bearing the name Zacheria, like those named Zechariah, are likely to be named in honor of the biblical figure(s) or for the religious significance of the name. The use of "Zacheria" as opposed to "Zechariah" might also reflect regional variations in spelling or pronunciation or simply a personal preference.
