Bat-tzion is a beautiful name, just uncommon. I don't think you could separate someone with such a name from Yerushalayim
Rav Ben-tzion Abba Shaul was a great talmid chocham of the previous generation.

Another vote for Bas-tzion, I love the name! I know someone named Ahaliva but it's very uncommon.
My daughter born in the 3 weeks is Nechama - nachamu nachamu ami..

I have a Bat-Tzion.

(It was actually suggested here on imamother when I was looking for a name connected to Yerushalayim that wasn't Tziona!)

And OMG ! I did not know that about Shlomit ! I take it back !

There is also a Shlomit who was a descendant of David Hamelech through Zerubavel.

Thinking along a different trajectory:

Shirel is an anagram for Israel (in Hebrew).

Isn't ahaliva an alternate name for moshiach?

Kinneret

Does the kinneret have any special hashkafic, halachik, or historic significance? Just curious...wouldn't name, as I have an aunt with this name, but I've always wondered....

Shivat-Tzion or just Shivat

I have heard of Yerushalayim as a name of a religious Ethiopian girl.

Shalvah

My niece is Shalvah, and her parents had in mind “Yehi Shalom b’cheileich, SHALVAH b’armenosayich” from Perek 122 of Tehillim that talks about Yerushalayim

Thought I was having a Bentzion, looks like it's actually a girl lol. I want a name that is connected to eretz yisrael or yerushalayim, and I can only think of two:
Zehava, which I love but can't use
And
Tziona which I don't like.

Any other suggestions?

Haven't read the thread yet but I know a Bastzion

If the idea is a connection to EY, you might want to also take into account how the names sound in modern Hebrew/ how common they are in this generation (in Israel).

For example Bat-tzion and Gefen would both be considered normal-but-not-overly-common girls' names for this generation. Tamar and Moriah are classics.

OTOH 'Aliza' sounds a little more like a name someone aged 50+ would have, ditto Chemda and Geula.

And Cheftzibah would be very uncommon/ old-fashioned.

Not that old fashioned is always the worst thing, just something to keep in mind. (And hey, you never know when a bunch of young dati leumi couples on a hilltop somewhere are going to bring a name back into style.)

Interesting point, but not one that I would take into account whatsoever. I couldn't care less how a name sounds or is thought of in the state of Israel. (One of my other kids happens to have a name that I know is looked down on there.)

yeah outside of israel there are names that go that here in israel are too old like zehava ahuva etc..
ariella is a great one I think- ariel is a name of the beit hamikdash
tair tzion- that someone mentioned above is so beautiful but too modern for us- im also due a girl soon
efrat= another name for beis lechem, its a strech but a nice name

I know many girls named Bat-zion.
As others have said, Aliza and Geula are old lady names in Israel.

Isn't one of the mir , rebbetzins batzion?
Maybe rebbetzin carlebach or glustein? (Rav Nosson Tzvi's sisters in law)

Yes, Rebbetzin Carlebach

That being said I don't think it's a common chareidi girls name.
