Zac

Zac is a name of English origins and it is traditionally used by parents looking for a name for their son. It is a nickname or a short-form for the names Zachary and Zechariah, which are of Hebrew origins. These take their meanings from the Hebrew words 'zakhar', meaning 'to remember' and 'Yah', one of the names given to God. Though the original name is said to be Zechariah, the modified versions (Zachariah or Zachary) are more prominent in the English language. According to its Hebrew elements, the meaning of Zac is 'God has remembered' or 'God remembers'. The name has several mentions in the Holy Bible, as the name is given to a prophet of the kingdom of Judah, Zechariah. Another biblical figure was King Zechariah of Israel. Several notable public figures with the name Zac are Zac Efron, an American actor and Zach Galifianakis, an American comedian, among others.
