Zahari

Zahari is the Bulgarian form of Zechariah, a Hebrew name traditionally meaning God has remembered. In Bulgarian it is written Захари, and Zahari represents those letters in the Latin alphabet. This places it in the same broad family as English Zachary and other forms carried through biblical and Christian naming traditions.

The spelling also appears in Malay naming contexts, where a different connection with an Arabic root relating to brightness is reported. Those histories should be considered separately rather than combined into one meaning. For a family choosing the Bulgarian name, the remembrance meaning and Zechariah connection provide the clearest explanation. Its open final vowel gives Zahari a different sound from Zachary while keeping a recognizable link to a much larger international name family.
