It's an Irish name. It is also Scottish and English. ...But seems to be derived from the French town of Lyon which was originally founded by Romans as Lugdunum, meaning 'hill of lights' or 'hill of crows'(!) at the place of a Gaulish hill settlement. The Clan Lyon in Scotland has its origins in Normandy - the name could be a battle name, a personal attribute as the Dukes of Normandy had lyons on their standard or coat of arms. There is also a 'Forêt de Lyons' in Normandy where the Abbey of Mortemer is situated. The City of Lyon takes its name from the Celtic god Lug http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugdunum#Origine_du_nom
