Meaning & origin
Zacharie first appeared in U.S. records in 1976, but its popularity peaked in 1994. Since 1995, its use has been steadily declining, reflecting a broader trend away from elaborate biblical forms in favor of shorter variants like Zachary. In 2025, the name ranked 12,008th, with roughly one birth per 341,615 boys. While it never broke into the top 1,000, Zacharie has maintained a quiet presence, particularly among French-American families, though it has not been concentrated in any single state. Its trajectory mirrors that of other Zachariah-derived names, which saw a mid-20th-century rise and a gradual retreat in the 21st century.
Zacharie is the French form of Zachariah, which derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), meaning 'God has remembered.' The name appears in the Old Testament as a prophet and the father of John the Baptist. French usage of Zacharie has been consistent since the 20th century, though never highly common.
