Meaning & origin
Zachrey is a rare variant spelling of the well-established name Zachary. Though it first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1980, it has never cracked the top 1000 and remains an uncommon choice. Its peak year was 1994, and its trajectory has been stable, indicating consistent but minimal usage. No state shows a concentration of the name, suggesting it is spread thinly across the country. Parents drawn to Zachrey likely appreciate the familiar sound of Zachary but want a slightly more distinctive spelling.
Zachrey is an uncommon variant spelling of Zachary, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Zechariah, meaning 'God has remembered.' The name appears in the Old Testament as the name of several figures, including a prophet. As a variant, Zachrey gained sporadic use in the United States starting in the late 20th century, though it never achieved the popularity of the standard form.
