The Last Shall Be First, and The First Last: It was St. Matthew who wrote that the last shall be first. Perhaps, he had the Hebrew Z-names in mind. But, that would be illogical since Z is only the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Zacharias is the Greek version of the Hebrew Zachariah. Remember him? John the Baptist's father. Biblical names have had exponential power to spread beyond their ethnic niches, sometimes as family names but more often as given names. Greenville Cemetery. [2018]
