Zachary
Name — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 82 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 107 |
| Reduction | 37 |
| Pythagorean | 37 |
| Chaldean | 20 |
Zachary carries an ordinal value of 82, reducing to One, a number tied to new beginnings and independence. Its reverse ordinal of 107 sits well above its forward ordinal of 82, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 20, which reduces to Two and so reads differently from the standard total.
Zachary is the English form of the Hebrew Zekharyah, "the Lord remembers." Zechariah is the name of a prophet in the Hebrew Bible and, in the Gospel of Luke, of the priest who is the father of John the Baptist.
In history. The prophet Zechariah wrote the book that bears his name, with its visions of horsemen and a lampstand, probably in the late 6th century BCE. Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, who died in office in 1850, is among the best-known bearers of the English form.
How Zachary adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Zachary is spelled Z-A-C-H-A-R-Y, which gives 26 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 1 + 18 + 25 = 82. Reducing the total to a single digit (8+2=10, then 1+0=1) gives 1.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| Z | 26 |
| A | 1 |
| C | 3 |
| H | 8 |
| A | 1 |
| R | 18 |
| Y | 25 |
