- Zion
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"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.
- Zenith
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"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!
- Summit
Origin:
English word nameMeaning:
"highest point of a mountain"Description:
An especially adventurous word name that conjures up mountain expeditions. As names like Everest and Zenith continue to climb, so too should Summit.
