Thinking about the name
Zion
Hebrew origin
“From Hebrew, meaning 'sign' or 'monument,' Zion originally referred to the hill in Jerusalem and has become a symbol of spiritual elevation and promised homecoming. The name carries profound religious significance for Jewish and Christian traditions while also resonating in Rastafarian culture, making it both spiritually grounded and culturally dynamic.”
