Thinking about the name
Lion
Latin origin
“Direct from the animal name and Old French/Latin leo, Lion is a bold, contemporary choice evoking strength, courage, and regal presence. Modern parents increasingly choose this name to convey power and protection, sometimes as a given name rather than a symbolic reference. It's uncompromisingly distinctive and carries mythic weight.”
