Zachary
“The English form of the Hebrew Zechariah, meaning "God has remembered" — from zakar ("to remember") and Yah (a form of the divine name). It was the name of a prophet in the Old Testament and of the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament. Zachary became the common English form, partly through medieval use and partly through its American revival in the 19th and 20th centuries, boosted by President Zachary Taylor.”
Gabriel
“Gabriel is derived from the Hebrew Gavriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל) meaning "God is my strength" or "man of God," composed of gavar (strength, hero) and El (God). In Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, Gabriel is the archangel who serves as God's primary messenger, announcing the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus in the New Testament and dictating the Quran to Muhammad in Islam.”
Jamie
“A diminutive of James, the English form of the Late Latin Iacobus, from the Greek Iakobos, ultimately from the Hebrew Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning "supplanter" or "he who follows at the heel." Jamie has been used as both a masculine and feminine name since at least the 18th century in Scotland, where it originated as a familiar form of James. Its gender neutrality has made it widely popular.”
Joel
“From the Hebrew יוֹאֵל (Yo'el), meaning "Yahweh is God," composed of the divine elements Yo (a form of YHWH) and El (God). Joel is the name of one of the twelve minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible and the author of the Book of Joel, which describes a devastating locust plague as divine judgment. The name entered general English use after the Protestant Reformation.”
Zephira
“From the Hebrew "Tzfirah" meaning morning, dawn, or daybreak — the joyful light that breaks the darkness. The name evokes the fresh, luminous quality of the earliest hours of day and appears in Jewish liturgical contexts as a symbol of redemption and new beginning after the darkness of exile.”
James
“The English form of the Late Latin Iacomus, a colloquial variant of Iacobus, from the Greek Iakobos, itself from the Hebrew Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning "supplanter" or "one who follows at the heel." The name spread through medieval Europe through veneration of two apostles — James the Greater and James the Lesser — and has been one of the most consistently popular masculine names in the English-speaking world for over 500 years.”
