Strong's Lexicon

Zkaryah: Zechariah

Original Word: זְכַרְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Zkaryah
Pronunciation: zeh-kahr-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (zek-ar-yaw')
Definition: Zechariah
Meaning: Zecarjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָכַר (zakar, meaning "to remember") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh), thus meaning "Yahweh remembers."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Ζαχαρίας (G2197): The Greek equivalent of Zechariah, used in the New Testament, particularly in reference to the father of John the Baptist.

Usage: The name Zechariah is used for several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably the prophet Zechariah, who authored the Book of Zechariah. The name signifies the faithfulness of God in remembering His covenant and promises to His people. It is a common name in the Old Testament, reflecting the hope and assurance that God is mindful of His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: Zechariah, the prophet, was active during the post-exilic period, specifically in the 6th century BCE, after the return from Babylonian exile. He was a contemporary of Haggai and played a significant role in encouraging the Jewish community to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. The Book of Zechariah contains visions and prophecies that emphasize the restoration of Israel and the coming of the Messiah. The name Zechariah was popular among the Israelites, reflecting a cultural emphasis on divine remembrance and faithfulness.
