zacharias is masculine name.

zaffer is kind of flowers I guess.

'Clastonian' : i couldn't find a meaning for it, maybe you meant Clactonian or just it'd be great if you give me the context.

kleptomania: the suffix 'mania' means insanity, and kleptmania means uncontrollable tendency for stealing.

kkk is short for Ku Klux Klan, it's radical white super-supremacist organization in the US.

quacksalver: one who practices medicine without proper qualifications.

I really suggest you to visit http://www.dictionary.com or http://www.onelook.com/ .
