The Lord has remembered
Derived from the Hebrew name Zekharyah, it signifies that God has kept the individual in mind. In the New Testament, it is the name of the father of John the Baptist, a priest who was temporarily struck mute. While the variation Zachary is more common in the US, Zacharias retains a more formal, scholarly feel.
