Comments for ZACCHAEUS:

Zacchaeus makes me think of a very short man, for not only was the Biblical character short, but there's a Sunday School song that goes, "Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he."

I would pronounce this 'Zah-kay-us'.

I think this is a nice name; it has a good meaning and the story of Zacchaeus is wonderful. It's all the more reason to use the name. Some names sound good, or have a good meaning, but if there's isn't a good story about the historical person with the name then I wouldn't use it. For instance, the name Delilah is lovely, but Delilah betrayed her husband; therefore I wouldn't use it.

Hitchcock's Dictionary of Bible names ALSO gives an additional meaning for Zacchaeus - that meaning is "just."

The Greek form of Zacchaeus which is given in the New Testament is as follows:
ζακχαιος

In Hebrew, Zacchaeus looks like this:
זכי
