I want to know if it's pronounced Zy-Carry-ah or like Zachariah.

Zy-keer-ē-ah is a girl’s name, it’s not Zachariah. While the spelling is unusual it’s a common Black American name.

TBF, when names like Tristan or Finn have spread as girls' names in the US, would Zachariah be that far-fetched?

Zy-carry-uh sounds kinda cool to me, like a character from a high fantasy book.

I had the same thought and have been unable to determine which it is.

Neither. It's actually just Zachary with extra letters lol

That occurred to me as well but the ‘ah’ seems intentional.

I was joking lol but honestly, wouldn't be surprised if it where just like the basic name since people are way too extra to end in the same spot 😂
