Leo is not the name of a star, it's the name of a constellation. The stars in Leo have names like Alpha Leonis. Some ancient guys thought the pattern formed by the stars looked a little bit like a lion, so that's what they called it: the lion. In Latin, the word for "lion" is "Leo." We still call it "Leo" instead of "lion" because Latin was used as the common language of educated people in the middle ages, so a lot of scientific and technical terms are based on Latin (or Greek) words. (By the way: the "Leonis" in the star names is Latin for "of the lion.)
