Boy
Zachary
Rooted in Hebrew, Zachary is a boy's name that means "The Lord has remembered". It is not as common as it was in the 1990s, though it has not disappeared. Today, it is a well-known pick in the registry. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
