The name embodies the very essence of the majestic creature it represents, exuding a sense of boldness, strength, and nobility. It’s a name that feels timeless and enduring, like the king of beasts itself, carrying an aura of bravery and grandeur.

In terms of popularity, Lion has had quite the rollercoaster ride. It made a surprising leap in the rankings between 2007 and 2008, jumping 6297 spots. However, it quickly dropped from #6069 to #12490 just a year later, in 2009. Lion had disappeared from the lists after 1922 but made a comeback in 1993 after a 70-year absence. In recent years, it peaked at #2960 in 2022, but by 2024, it had slipped to #3589. It’s never cracked the top 100, keeping it a distinctive choice.
