Origin
Meaning and history of Zackorie
The name Zackorie is a variant of the Hebrew name Zechariah, which is derived from the elements "zakar" meaning "to remember" and "Yah" referring to God. The name can be traced back to ancient Hebrew texts, including the Old Testament, where it was borne by the prophet Zechariah, who lived in the 6th century BCE.
In the Biblical book of Zechariah, the prophet's name is mentioned numerous times, and his prophecies foretell the coming of the Messiah and the restoration of Jerusalem. This association with a prominent figure in Jewish history has contributed to the enduring popularity of the name and its variants across various cultures.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Zackorie can be found in the writings of the French philosopher and theologian Pierre Abélard, who lived in the 12th century. He mentioned a student named Zackorie in his work "Historia Calamitatum" (The Story of My Misfortunes).

FAQ
Zackorie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Zackorie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Zackorie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Zackorie a common name?
We classify Zackorie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Zackorie most popular?
The single biggest year for Zackorie was 2000, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Zackorie is about 26 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Zackorie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Zackorie a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Zackorie in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Zackorie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Zackorie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Zackorie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
