Zakk

Boy name · 43 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zakk: 43 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 7 births in 2005.

Zakk is a modern, energetic spelling of Zack, itself a short form of Zachary, from the Hebrew Zechariah, meaning “God has remembered.” It gained a distinctly rock-and-roll edge through Zakk Wylde, the virtuoso guitarist and vocalist for Ozzy Osbourne and founder of Black Label Society, whose stage name helped popularise the double‑k variation. Though no major place name shares this exact root, the biblical Zechariah inspired a handful of towns and churches worldwide. As a further note, Zakk is far less common than Zack or Zach in Scotland, but its punchy, distinctive look appeals to parents seeking a name with a bold, creative feel.
