Sions

Sions is not a standard English word with a clear, widely accepted meaning. When it appears in texts, it is usually the result of a misspelling or misinterpretation of other terms rather than a distinct term of its own. The closest legitimate word is scion, meaning a descendant of a notable family or a shoot used for grafting; the correct plural is scions, not sions.

In religious or historical writing, Zion is the established form referring to the biblical or symbolic homeland of the Jewish people. The plural form Sions is not standard in modern usage and is generally considered archaic or incorrect.

Sion, capitalized, is also a proper noun. It refers to the city of Sion in the canton of Valais, Switzerland; in English, the city is typically spelled Sion. The plural Sions would only appear in unusual contexts, such as listing several places named Sion or when referring to multiple individuals whose given name is Sion. The name Sion can also function as a surname or given name in some languages, in which case its plural would be Sions when discussing more than one person.

Because sions lacks a clear, agreed-upon meaning, it is best avoided in formal writing unless it is clearly defined within the text. Related terms to consider in understanding potential confusion include scion and Zion, which have established spellings and meanings.
