What is the meaning of the name Zechariah?

Asked 3 years ago

I'm looking for a name for our son, and while I like the name Zechariah, I don't know what it means. I know it was a prophet's name in the bible, but that's about it. Does anyone know what it means and whether Zechariah is a popular name today?
