I came across this last night and found it pretty interesting,
given the current name discussion in the region:
"Liberia's neighbor to the north, Sierra Leone (lion ridge) was named by
Portuguese explorers in 1460." This is from the book "Off the Map: The
Curious History of Place Names", p. 69, by Derek Nelson.
I'm starting to like Champs de Leon and Campo di Leone even
more.
