Where did the name Sierra Leone come from ?

• The name, Sierra Leone dates back to 1462, when a
  Portuguese explorer sailed down the coast of West
  Africa. There seems some dispute whether it was
  the shape or climatic conditions that influenced
  Pedro da Cintra to come up with "Sierra Lyoa"
  meaning Lion Mountains.Some say the coastal
  regions looked like "lions teeth". Others
  suggest he thought the thunderstorms over the
  mountainous peninsula sounded like the roar of a
  lion.
