Origin
Meaning and history of Zacori
The name Zacori is believed to have its origins in ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the region of modern-day Iraq and parts of Syria. It is thought to be derived from the Akkadian language, which was prevalent in the region during the third and second millennia BCE.
One theory suggests that Zacori is a combination of the Akkadian words "zaku" and "ri," which together could mean "pure" or "clean." This linguistic connection implies that the name may have been associated with purity or cleanliness in its original context.
While there is limited historical documentation of the name's exact origins, some scholars have proposed that Zacori may have been used as a personal name among certain Mesopotamian civilizations, such as the Sumerians or Babylonians. However, concrete evidence of its usage in ancient texts or inscriptions is scarce.
The earliest known recorded instance of the name Zacori dates back to the 8th century BCE, found in a cuneiform tablet from the Neo-Assyrian period. This tablet mentions an individual named "Zacori-bani," which could be interpreted as "Zacori is my creator" or "Zacori has created me."
Throughout history, there are a handful of notable individuals who have carried the name Zacori, although their biographical details are often obscure. One such figure was Zacori al-Andalusi, an Arabic scholar and philosopher who lived in the 9th century CE in the Iberian Peninsula.
Another historical figure bearing the name was Zacori ibn Khalid, a 12th-century Persian mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of trigonometry.
In the 14th century, there was a Zacori de Rossi, an Italian Jewish scholar and rabbi who authored several works on Jewish law and philosophy.
A more recent figure was Zacori Sauvignon, a French painter and artist who lived in the late 19th century and was known for his landscapes and still-life paintings.
Finally, Zacori Ramos was a 20th-century Mexican politician and activist who played a role in the Mexican Revolution and advocated for workers' rights and social reforms.
It is essential to note that due to the scarcity of historical records and the name's relative obscurity, some of these accounts may be subject to uncertainty or inaccuracies.

FAQ
Zacori: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Zacori?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Zacori 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 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Zacori a common name?
We classify Zacori as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Zacori most popular?
The single biggest year for Zacori was 2010, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Zacori is about 14 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 Zacori in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Zacori a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Zacori 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 Zacori still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Zacori 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 Zacori 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.
