Zac is English, Hebrew in Origin.
Zac is an English short form of Zachary, ultimately from Hebrew Zekharyah (זְכַרְיָה), the biblical form behind Zechariah. The name joins the Hebrew verb zakhar, to remember, with Yah, a shortened divine name referring to Yahweh; its literal sense is Yahweh has remembered. The final -iah/-yah element was reduced in Greek and Latin transmission, while English Zachary produced clipped spellings such as Zac, Zack, and Zach.
Zechariah belongs to several biblical figures, including the postexilic prophet and, in the New Testament, the father of John the Baptist. Zachary became familiar in English after Reformation-era interest in Old Testament names, with Zachariah and Zechariah remaining more explicitly scriptural. Zac developed chiefly as a nickname in English-speaking countries and has gained occasional independent use, helped by public bearers such as Zac Efron, Zac Posen, and Zac Brown; in U.S. records it remains far rarer than Zachary or Zack.
