Zion has taken off in recent years, especially after singer Lauryn Hill used it for her son in 1997 and incorporated the name into a hit song. It combines a user-friendly Ryan-Brian sound with the gravitas of religious significance. The Hebrew pronunciation is 'tzeeyon'.
<br/><br/> In the Old Testament, the name Zion frequently refers to the city of Jerusalem as a whole, and came to be symbolic of Jewish national aspirations, and thus was the source of the term Zionism.
<br></br>
With its cool, sharp Z sound, Zion was given to nearly 2900 boys — and to 130 girls — in 2023, placing it in the US Top 150. Also on trend in the UK, New Zealand, and The Netherlands, Zion may well continue to rise in coming years, though some may find it a controversial choice.
