Laughter; the Lord has remembered
Commonly used as a short form of Zachary or Zachariah, Zack is derived from the Hebrew name Zechariah. It carries the dual significance of joy through laughter and the spiritual promise of being remembered by God. While often a nickname, it has a long history of standing alone as a friendly, accessible given name.
