Names That Mean Point

  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. Zion

      Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "highest point"
    • Description:

      A Biblical place name and a unisex choice that has been on the rise in the US in recent years. With its bright sound and cool, zippy Z beginning, it blends religious significance and trendiness.
  4. Zenith
    • Origin:

      English word name
    • Meaning:

      "the time at which something is most powerful or successful; the point in the celestial sphere directly above an observer"

      A tip-top word name—literally, Zenith means the top or apex. Zen makes a cute nickname.

      English word name
    • Meaning:
