Zacary is a male first name.
Recently, the name Zacary has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one boy in 100,000 has been named Zacary. That means that a boy named Zacary is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name his whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Zacary.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Zacary. Boys named Zacary have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,496 Zacary ranked higher than ever before in 1997. By comparison, there have been 104 years in which the first name Zacary has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their sons Zacary only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Zacary was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The first name Zacary is a true rarity among all men and boys currently living in the United States – only 142 Americans in total bear this name. And these 142 men are located in only five states: California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio and Texas (it should be noted that the official statistics provide the data per state only if there are at least 5 men with this name in the state. So, if your name is Zacary and you live outside the states marked on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics). The state with the most boys and men named Zacary in relation to it’s male population is California. And yet even there, only one in 236,691 men would raise his hand if asked whether there was a Zacary present.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter Z is quite rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 2.4% of all common boys' names in the US begin with Z. The most common first letters of boys' names, by the way, are J, A and D, while X, U and Q are the least common initials of boys' names.
With six letters, the name Zacary is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 2.4% of all boys' names begin with a Z, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the names that begin with Z, Zachary is the most common.
If your name is Zacary and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
