Zion

Funny enough, my name is Zion and my middle name is Israel.
Zion is a holy name in many religions. In many religions it's basically means redemption land.
In rastafarie: Zion stands for a utopia place of unity.
In the Christian bible: it's is the cornerstone of which gods holy temple was built upon. Temple with the same name 'Zion.
And it pretty much means the same in every mainstream Christian/ Jewish religion.

Zion is also known as the seat of power in Israel or the kingdom of God and will be the name of God's new land when the messiah returns...

In ancient Egypt Zion was translated as (sion).
Sion was the 4 shafts of Giza that align with the consolations:
Names of the consolations in order, which are all Egyptian gods:
Set
Isis
Osiris
Nefteru

Although I'm pretty sure Zion originated to ancient Egypt.

Zion is not just an African American name. In the south pacific especially Melanesia Zion and Israel are common. But not as much for Zion.

Thus it basically is another word for 'High Mountain'. Where God dwells/ Live, a strong and purposeful name for a child, if the parents are religious. Should not offend. The wicked fairy not looking in good will on such a child or his parents, might go out of their way to bring about the opposite, in spite.

The name "Zion" is Hebrew in origin. Although the meaning of the name is not generally agreed upon, the popular meanings "highest point", "raised up", and/or "monument" are very accurate and Biblically sound.
