Meaning & origin
Zakarie, a spelling variant of Zakaria, first entered U.S. birth records in 1992, reflecting the growing diversity of naming traditions in the country. Its peak year came in 1997, though overall usage has remained very low. This name carries deep religious resonance, linking to both the Quran and the Bible. Parents choosing Zakarie today often value its connection to faith and cultural heritage while appreciating its more phonetic spelling. The name has seen stable usage over the decades, never breaking into the top 1000.
Zakarie is a variant of Zakaria, the Arabic form of the Hebrew name Zechariah, meaning 'God remembers'. The name appears in the Quran as Zakariya, a prophet and father of John the Baptist. It has been used across the Muslim world for centuries, and the variant 'Zakarie' emerged in English-speaking countries as a respelling, particularly among Somali and other East African communities.
