Zacchaeus

Belonging to Greek origin, the meaning of Zacchaeus is 'pure' or 'innocent'. It is derived from the Hebrew name Zakkay, which comes from the word 'zakh' which means 'pure, the pure one', innocent', 'clean', 'righteous'. In the Bible, Zacchaeus was a tax collector but he became one of the disciples of Jesus. He is known for climbing a sycamore tree to see Jesus and his genorisity. He gave away half of his posessions to the poor and any excess he extorted, he would pay back fourfold. It is a name primarily considered by parents looking for names for a baby boy.
