Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, maybe someone who's Polish or speaks Polish. I know in Polish language people often use diminutives for names, like Tomasz becomes Tomek and so on. I was wondering, what diminutive would be given to someone called Zachariasz?

I was born in Poland and I have one book of names that my family brought over when we moved to America. The only diminutive it lists for Zachariasz is Zachariaszek.

Oh well... That's even longer, so not really a good nickname then :-) I only found the alternative polish forms Zacharz and Zacharyja.
Thank you anyhow!

The only other form I'm familiar with in Polish is Zachary(zah-HAH-rih).
