Singapore was discovered by Sung Nila Utama (not sure how to spell his name), and when he arrived on Singapore, he saw a lion. Singa means lion in his language, and pura sorta means land, so he named it Singapura. Then Sir Stamford Raffles came and founded Singapura, and gave it an English name, Singapore.
