The Saju view
Zachariah starts on S, Z, SH, CH or J, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the metal group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Zachariah carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Zachariah earns some credit for charts missing water. A chart that already holds plenty of metal is better served by another name, since Zachariah would add to it.
