Answer 3

The English word "lion" comes from Old French "lion," which is from the Latin word "leonis," a form of the word "leo" which means "lion." (Whence also the name of the constellation Leo, which looks like a lion.) The Latin word probably came from Greek "leon," which was borrowed from Coptic "labai." Coptic was the language of Egypt before Arabic became spoken there. Coptic is related to Arabic and to Hebrew. Since lions came from Africa, it is thought that this is why the name comes from Coptic.

Answer 4

The word "tiger" comes to us from the greek Tigris, possibly from a Persian word meaning "arrow" - presumably because of its speed.
