Although Sierra Leone is said to be founded by a Portuguese trader Pedro da Cintra in 1462 and named it Serra de Leao, meaning "Lion Maintain" due to the fact that the mountains looks like a sleeping lion and the thunder storm sounded just like a roaring lion.
Sierra Leone was not founded by any one, the country was used as a passing ground for travellers. Some of these travellers went to their destination whiles others stayed, for instants the Mende's are travellers from Mali they were going to Liberia with their queen; queen Massarico when some of them decided to stay, as a result of this, the mende's settled in Sierra Leone. The same can be said for the Limba's Temne etc. For more info. on Sierra Leone plase go to infoplease.com
