Is There a Zachariah Coat of Arms?

There is no single Zachariah family crest for every bearer. Herald Lab researches the arms historically associated with the name and explains whose they were.

The meaning behind Zachariah

Spellings drift, and Zachariah is where Zacharias drifted for some families. Read literally, Zachariah points to “A descendant of Zacharias or Zachary (whom Jehovah remembers)”.

Zachariah is listed among the recognised spellings of Zacharias. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Zaccaria, Zacharie and Zachary. 838 Americans were listed as Zachariah in the 2010 census.
