Zekharia

Zekharia is a Hebrew masculine given name, equivalent to the English name Zechariah. It is derived from the Hebrew words "zekher" (זֵכֶר) meaning "remembrance" and "Yah" (יָהּ), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Thus, Zekharia literally means "God remembers" or "Yahweh has remembered."

The name is found in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) as the name of several individuals, most notably the prophet Zechariah, author of the Book of Zechariah. It is also the name of a priest and prophet in the Book of Chronicles.

The name has variations in spelling and pronunciation across different languages and cultures. In some traditions, it may be spelled Zachariah, Zachary, or other similar forms. The name's popularity has varied over time and geographical location.
