Zechariah is struck dumb because he doubted the angel's message about his wife Elizabeth conceiving a child in her old age. The angel Gabriel told him that he would be unable to speak until the prophecy was fulfilled as a sign of God's power and faithfulness.

Why did Zechariah name his son John?

An angel appeared to Zechariah before John was born and told Zechariah that his wife would bear a son and that he was to name him John. Zechariah at first could not believe this, because his wife was too old to bear children. As a result he was struck dumb until after his son was born. (Luke 1:5-25) When asked what he wished to name the child, Zechariah wrote "His name is John" on a tablet, whereon he immediately recovered his speech. (Luke 1:57-66) The name means "God is gracious" in Hebrew.
