Is Zachari a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Zachari, and how old are they?
An estimated 881 Americans named Zachari and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 27 years old and half are between 16 and 35. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
