Names That Mean Point

  1. Zion
    • Origin:

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "highest point"
    • Description:

      Zion has taken off in recent years, particularly after singer Lauryn Hill used it for her son back in 1997 and incorporated the name into a hit song. It combines a user-friendly Ryan-Brian sound with the gravitas of religious significance and has that cool, on-trend Z initial. The Hebrew pronunciation is 'tzeeyon', though among English speakers, it will likely be said as ZY-on.
  2. Zenith
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "the point in the sky or celestial sphere directly above an observer"
    • Description:

      Zenith is an uplifting if quirky word name, meaning the top or the peak. Eight boys received the name in one recent year, only a third of those who were called Nadir -- the low point!
  3. Summit
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "highest point of a mountain"

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:
