Sion

שִׂיאוֹן

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: peak

• Sion is a name with layers. Depending on who you ask, it is either a streamlined take on the Hebrew Zion — meaning "peak" or "highest point" — or a Welsh variant of John with its own distinct heritage. Either way, it has a crisp, cosmopolitan feel that travels well across languages and cultures.

  With the clean, four-letter simplicity that modern parents crave — think Levi, Ezra, Arlo — this name still has an uncommon edge that keeps it from blending in. It sounds polished and international, working just as easily in Tel Aviv as in London or Los Angeles. Short, striking, and layered with meaning underneath.
