In C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books, the lion who creates Narnia is Aslan.
Aslan appears as the central ruler and creator of Narnia. In The Magician’s Nephew, he sings Narnia into existence, bringing its landscapes, animals, and other living creatures into being. He is also a guide, judge, and protector whose presence links several books in the series.
Aslan is often discussed in relation to Christian symbolism, especially because of his death and return in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Lewis described the Narnia stories as imaginative fiction rather than simple one-to-one allegory. The name “Aslan” comes from the Turkish word for “lion,” a detail sometimes noted in discussions of the character’s creation and literary influences.
