Commentary on the name Zion:
Zion is a biblical term for the promised land. For Rastafarians it means a utopia or heaven on earth, and it is also widely associated with the drive for a Jewish homeland and with the ideals of the Mormon church. Zion wasn't often considered as a name until musicians Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley (son of Rasta legend Bob Marley) chose it for their son. Scores of parents are now following their example.
