Meaning: Zakkur

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root זָכַר (zakar), meaning "to remember" or "to be mindful."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Zakkur, but the concept of remembrance is captured in Greek by the word μνημονεύω (mnēmoneuō), Strong's Greek #3421, meaning "to remember" or "to be mindful."

Usage: The name Zakkur means "mindful" or "remembered." It is used as a proper name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying the importance of remembrance and mindfulness in the Hebrew culture.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often reflective of personal characteristics, divine attributes, or significant events. The root זָכַר (zakar) is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of remembering, which is a central theme in the covenant relationship between God and His people. The name Zakkur, therefore, carries connotations of being remembered by God or being mindful of God's deeds and commandments.
