Zion Name Meaning

Meaning and originality:

The Hebrew ציון translates to Zion (Tzion). We can find this name in Bible in 2 Samuel 5:7 “Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.” City of David is a historical city and is the oldest neighborhood in Jerusalem. Zion has a legendary status and represents the promised land, a place that god has promised to its chosen people. “Zionism” is the school of thoughts that believes Jews should go back to Palestine and they should be protected. After the Civil War, the slaves in America imported this idea because they were also looking for a place that they could be free in and live a normal life. That is why this name is common in the Black culture.

Here are some famous people named Zion:

Zion Cohen (Israeli soccer player)
Zion Golan (Israeli singer)
Zion Levy (Israeli rabbi in Panama)

What are your baby’s characteristics like when you name him Zion?

As a name, Zion suggests that you have a pioneering spirit. You are a natural born leader who is highly focused and designs everything around achieving his goals. Enduring difficulty to try out new things is normal to you. It makes you angry that you have to do too many unimportant things. You are independent and decisive.  You are also energetic and confident.

You are always trying to love and help the people who are around you. As a person you respect and abide your family values. Sometimes you even neglect yourself to help others. You are very good at giving good advice to others. Sometimes, you can be shy about showing your artistic aspects. People recognize and appreciate the love that you give them.

You might not be aware of this but you have a hidden power over other people; you must explore this power. You attract, influence, and inspire people. You are lively, cheerful, optimistic, and charismatic. It is in your personality to see the glass half full.

How do people react to you?

To others, Zion is a family man who provides for his family and protects them. Others tend to trust you and your calls. When you are searching for new clothes, practicality and the pricing are two factors that matter to you. You do what must be done and that I why others can count on you.

Popularity:

The first time that Zion emerged as a popular name for boys In the U.S was in 1998. In 1997, Lauryn Hill and her husband (Bob Marley's son) named their son Zion David-Nesta Marley and that is what led to the popularity of Zion in that time. Nowadays, Zion has moderate levels of popularity in the U.S.

My sons name is Zion and he is 15.At first I didn't want to name him Zion.We have a very confusing last name and I didn't want to add to the confusion ,and I wasn't sure about it.It was my wifes idea.Our church friends liked it but our relatives didn't.So we named him Joshua Zion and let it be his middle name but we have called him Zion from the'start and use it like it is his first name.It is very unique and he is a very wonderful and unique person.It is a strong name.If I was gonna name a girl Zion I would spell it "Sion" which is the other way it is spelled in the Bible.Its a good name.

My name is Zion and live in oregon also, i saw someone else was also. My parents named me the not for any religious reason or for its meaning. My namesake was Zion National Park actually, which was named by Mormons, but my parents did choose it for its for the religious meanings. Besides the all the historic meanings I still really like my name. It was hard in elementry and middle school, people would hear my name and kinda look at me if I'm serious or not. Once in high school and now that i am in college people look at me still but tell me that its a really nice and cool name. Besides the historic meanings I still really like my name and glad i have it if anything just for the rarity of it. A little trick I tell people to get my name right is that its Lion with a "Z" and every seems to get it right then.

My son's name is Zion (pronounced Zy-yon) Of course, people want to say Zi-an); however, I tend to correct them and he does the'same. I have not met too many people with this name. Although, I have heard of a few that live in other'states. People usually relate it to a biblical meaning which was and is the intent. Zion means "City of God." I would definitely recommend this name because I always get the reaction that it is original and unique. Two thumbs way up!!!

My wife is 8 months pregnant and has long decided to name our son Zion. I first struggled with it, because I felt it was such a strong name. But my wife felt even stronger about him being named Zion. I thought, what would people think when'they hear his name? It means so much to many religions and teachings. I really obsessed over his name for awhile. I remember, from the very first time we met and discussed having children..she had the name Zion as her first born son. She just loved the name Zion! I too loved the name and its meaning, but just couldn't decide if our son should have it as his name. Then, once I'mentioned his name to a good friend of mine, and she'said "that is a great and strong name..just like his father." Then I thought .."Yea..why shouldn't he be as strong as his dad and have a name to go with it?" My mom, my wife, as well as a few othe's said they even had dreams about my wife throughout her pregnancy and they all said they dreamt she had a boy even before we knew the'sex. As time went on I grew more and more comfortable and sure of his name Zion..and soon realized that his name is not so important at this time...just having him being born healthy is the most important thing. We are very excited and can't wait to hold him!

My husband and I are 8 months pregnant with a boy. We have agonized over a name for months, and have finally landed on the only one that'seems to fit for our boy (even'though we haven't met him yet). We're choosing it both for its meaning and because it is fresh and classy enough without being too over-the-top. Some relatives are unsure about it, but most are giving two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Our first child's middle name is Zion. he's three months old and he's such a wonderful baby. The reason we picked Zion is because we want a strong name for our child. One day my husband came across someone wearing a Zion National Park t-shirt. He came home and said what about Zion for a middle name? We looked up the meaning and instantly knew that this is the name we've been searching for. Zion's meaning is: sign, omen; excellent and use to refer to a Jewish homeland and heaven. It is also said to have a meaning of "chosen one". The name is of Hebrew origin. Everyone including our family loves the name Zion. They all said Zion is a strong, unique name, and fit our son very well. We have no regrets and we think this name will become more popular in the near future. MJO

I guess It's okay. It's one of those names where you kind of have to like exactly what the name represents. It's a cool name, and I like it 'cause It'starts with "Z", but that's me. I really can't make up my mind.

My baby, born July 1st of this year, is named Zion. I actually got my Zion from this street in Hartford called Zion Street. A street I used to see all the time on my way to his father's house before I got knocked up. Well, every time I'd look up out of the bus window, there that'sign would be. It was a sign! I always loved that name, but I wanted to have a reason, a personal reason to do it and that'street sign was a sign that I was meant to name my son Zion. I love this name'so much!

My son is 12 and I had the name Zion picked before I knew the gender, and before I knew that it would be so popular. I was kinda hoping it would be more origional at the time. All I know is that this kiddo kicked like crazy when I played Marley on my belly, esp. the'song "Jammin'" when he'sang "Holy Mt Zion". That's where I got the name. I looked it up in the Bible and it meant "sunny" in Hebrew as well as other things like "promised land". He has suffered no grief for his name, in fact people love it. Later, I found that a friend had a granddaughter named Zion. It works either way. Beautiful, strong name.
