Word Origin & Etymology
As a given name, 'Zach' is a shortened form of 'Zachary' or 'Zachariah', which comes from the Hebrew name 'Zekharyah', meaning 'Yahweh remembers'. As nineteenth-century Australian slang for a sixpence, it is an alteration of 'zack', which is of uncertain origin, possibly derived from Yiddish 'zeks' ('six') or Scottish dialect 'saxpence'.
