National Zachary Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

National Zachary Day is annually observed on June 26. We are honouring all the Zachs, Zaks, Zacs, and Zacharys in the world with a special day of recognition because such a memorable name deserves it. Zachary is the anglicised form of the Hebrew name Zechariah, which is a masculine given name. It derives from the Hebrew term ‘Zakhar,’ which means “to remember,” and is one of the names of the Israelite God. In Arabic, the name is written as Zakariya. Approximately 60,000 Americans are named Zachary or a variant thereof. In most instances, it is a given name. Let’s honour this ancient moniker today!

The background of National Zachary Day

Zachary is closely associated with actors and entertainers due to its Hebrew origin. Zachary ranked as the 144th most prevalent boy’s name. In 2021, there were 2,575 males named Zachary. Zachary Levi, an actor, is a notable individual with this name. He has starred in numerous films and television series, such as “Chuck,” “Shazam!” (2019), and Broadway productions such as “She Loves Me.” At age six, the 41-year-old actor began performing in school productions, including “Grease,” “The Wizard of Oz,” and “The Outsiders.” His portrayal as Chuck Bartowski in the television series “Chuck” propelled him to Hollywood stardom. Levi also provided the voice of Flynn Rider in the 2010 film “Tangled” and its sequels.

Zachary Israel Braff is an actor and director best known for his role as J.D. on the N.B.C./A.B.C. medical comedy series “Scrubs.” From 2001 to 2010, the New Jersey native starred in the programme, making it his longest-running project. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy and three Golden Globes for his performances. The film “Garden State” (2004), which Braff wrote, directed, and scored in his hometown, garnered widespread critical acclaim and cult status over the years. In addition to acting, writing screenplays, and mentoring, Braff provided the voice for the film’s character Chicken Little.

Zac Efron, whose portrayal of Troy Bolton in the “High School Musical” series made him one of the most famous young actors of the late 2000s, is inseparable from modern musicals. Since then, Efron has taken on more mature roles, such as in “Dirty Grandpa” (2016) and “Baywatch” (2017). Efron’s most recent achievement, the Netflix documentary series “Down to Earth with Zac Efron,” was awarded a Daytime Emmy.
