Z=8 + A=1 + C=3 + H=8 + A=1 + R=9 + Y=7Total 37 -> 1

Rule used here: Pythagorean numerology maps A/J/S to 1, B/K/T to 2, C/L/U to 3, D/M/V to 4, E/N/W to 5, F/O/X to 6, G/P/Y to 7, H/Q/Z to 8, and I/R to 9. The total is reduced to a single digit.

Known namesake

Zachary Taylor was associated with President of the United States. This sits after the origin reading, because the site first explains the source of the name and then shows later real-world bearers.
