All I wanted to know was
what the word tsiyon *means?*

Can you answer that for me?

As nobodey can answer your question, let me try.
You know my idea of an Ice Age language that
would have been spoken in Eurasia, from Northern
Spain to Malta in Siberia. The center of this language
would have been the Franco-Cantabrian space, and
it would have been fully formed out in the Magdalenian
period of time. By the end of the Ice Age, hunting
tribes wandered eastward and reached Göbekli Tepe
in southeast Anatolia. Agriculture started nearby,
at the base of the Karacadag, 10,000 years ago.
Göbekli Tepe was the sacred mountain of the earliest
Mesopotamian deities (Klaus Schmidt, excavator of
the biggest sensation in archaeology since Lascaux).
Late Magdalenian (or Middle PIE, whichever you prefer)
influenced languages in Asia Minor, many words found
their way into Hebrew but were then overformed.
Now if I look at Greek Seon Hebrew Tsiyon Old English
Sion Modern English and German Zion I am reminded
of two or perhaps three Magdalenian words:

SAI --- life, existence; German Sein, also Zeit

SIA ---to be well and in good health

IAN --- to mark the place of the entrance
of a future camp

As compound we get SAI IAN or SIA IAN which
would have been polished off to Seon Tsiyon Sion
Zion (Ts- and Z- being emphatic forms). The meaning
you ask for would then be: founding place of a new
camp (or nation) where our tribe can be, live, exist,
live well and be in good health and prosper ... Would
this go along with the meaning you favor?
