Comments for the name Zakiah

Pronounced zah-kee-ah.

I believe the correct pronunciation would be ZAH-KIE-AH.

Za-KIE-a would probably be the English pronunciation, but as this name is originally Jewish, I believe the correct pronunciation would rather be Zah-KEE-ah (please correct me if I'm wrong). I like both pronunciations.

This is one of my favorite girl names, whatever the pronunciation is. Love the meaning.

If I hadn't just read the page on this name I would have thought it was masculine. I pictured it as a nickname for Zacchaeus.

I like this name. It's got a kick-ass feel to it, like Axelle. I also prefer the English pronunciation (Zah-KIE-Ah) over the Hebrew one.

Traditionally more of a masculine name, in modern times it's used for both boys and girls (probably due to the 'ah' ending). Personally, I prefer it for boys.

Zuh-KEE-uh sounds ghetto and zuh-KIE-uh sounds very biblical (which may be negative to some people). Despite that, I love it! I wouldn't name my kid Zakiah, though.

Nevermind, I can't say I like it that much anymore. Zak would be a cute nickname, nonetheless.
