The word lion is a common noun because it is a word for any lion, any lion at all.

A common noun becomes a proper noun when it is the name of a person, place, thing, or used in a title; for example:

  • The Lion House Pantry in Salt Lake City, Utah
  • Lion Street, Cape Town, South Africa
  • Lion Brand Yarn
  • Lion Country Safari, Laguna Hills, California
  • 'The Lion in Winter' (1968) with Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn
  • 'The Lion King', Walt Disney Pictures
