The name ''Tzion'' appears 108 times in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh Tanakh] (Hebrew Bible), and once as HaTzion.] It is spelled with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzadi Tzadi] and not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zayin Zayin].

This orthography was adopted because in German the correct transliteration can only be rendered from the one instance of HaTzion in Kings II 23:17, where the a vowel is followed by a double consonant tz.
