Meaning of Zakariyya
Zakariyya is a direct Quranic name for boys that refers to one of the prophets mentioned in the Quran. Zakariyya is mentioned seven times in the Quran and is mentioned as Zachariah in the Bible. He was the father of Prophet Yahya (John) and took care of Mary, mother of Prophet Isa/Jesus.
And thereupon her Lord accepted the girl-child (Mary) with goodly acceptance, and caused her to grow up in goodly growth, and placed her in the care of Zakariyya. Whenever Zakariyya visited her in the sanctuary, he found her provided with food. He would ask: “O Mary, whence came this unto thee?” She would answer: “It is from God; behold, God grants sustenance unto whom He wills, beyond all reckoning.” (Quran 3:37)

Is it allowed to use the bilblical spelling of Zachariah in Islam?

I live in the UK so originally thought to use the typical English spelling of this name (Zachariah/Zechariah) but I have found that the spelling Zakariya is actually more popular here at the moment. Most English ppl seem to use Zachary or just Zak (spelt various ways). Our son is Zakariya NN Zak. In our circle of Muslim friends there are two other Zaks. With our non Muslim friends and family the name is never an issue; they also like it. So glad we used it.

My son’s name is spelt Zakariah. A combination of the English and Arabic spelling. Everyone calls him Zak and both sides of the family can relate to the name.

In the KJV of the Bible in the new testament there is 2 different men Zachariah and Zacharias 2 different meanings 1was interpreted as remembered by yah the other was interpreted as judgement of yah

And to continue further my name is Zachary most call me Zack but in the KJV of the Bible according to Jesus Zachariah was a righteous man who the “Pharisees” or preacher that is what a Pharisees was was responsible for “slewing” I think his exact words were “from the blood of righteous able to righteous Zachariah whom ye ignorantly slew between the temple and the alter” and able was killed obviously by Cain but I’m thinking that he was mettaforicaly speaking about Zachariah s credibility to the common man cause he was of the levitical priest line and was telling the truth and that was getting into the pocket of the Pharisees cause normally in church s today the alter is in the temple and the Pharisees of today stand behind the alter and r in the temple and Jesus said that the truth is a 2 edged sword it cuts both ways as in u and me and he also said” if u teach in my name come. Bearing the joy of the coming of the kingdom of heaven and take not a farthing nor a extra jacket give all u own to the poor and take no thought to yourself for my father in heaven knows what u need before you ask and if ur son ask u for a load of bread would u give him a stone?” Alot of false teachers today just like there’s always been Good was for real when he cursed the wicked ones seed line to never grow anything of substance even seeds in people s hearts
