Zaccur / Zakkur — a Hebrew personal name ('remembered'), borne by several men from Reuben, Simeon, and Levi.
The name Zakkur (meaning 'remembered' or 'mindful,' from the root zakhar) belongs to at least five different individuals in the Old Testament. The earliest is Zaccur son of Shammua, the Reubenite spy sent to scout Canaan (Num 13:4). Others include a Simeonite (1 Chr 4:26), several Levites — notably an Asaphite musician appointed by David (1 Chr 25:2, 10) and one who helped rebuild Jerusalem's wall (Neh 3:2) — and a companion of Ezra (Ezra 8:14 Qere). The Septuagint renders it variously as Zakchhur, Zakchhour, reflecting the characteristic doubled kaph. German 'Sakkur' shows a distinctive adaptation of the initial sibilant.
