The meaning of Aslan
Posted: March 3rd, 2007, 4:38 pm
I heard somewhere that Aslan means "lion" in Turkish. I decided to use that [fact?] for a speech I will be giving on Tuesday about the characters and races of Narnia. I looked in my trusty (and very neat and insightful) "Companion to Narnia", which is sort of like a Narnian encyclopedia, but I cannot find it anywhere in the book. Can anyone else tell me if this is true, and, if so, give me a credible source to which I can cite it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
