This is a paper on the name origins and other things that very few people know about

Lilt :



Name Meanings:
You may remeber some of these from the other posting.

Simba: 'Lion.'
Nala: 'Gift.'
Mufasa: No meaning, but is a name. Father was Ahadi, mother was Uru.
Scar: None. Cubhood name was Taka. Name was changed to Scar after a hunting accident.
Father named him Scar to remind him of his foolishness in his attempt to embarress Mufasa.
Zazu: None
Timon: None
Pumbaa: 'dull-witted, stunned'
Sarabi: Mirage
Rafiki: Friend
Hyenas: 'Demon, uncouth (Shenzi); skulk, lurk (Banzai)'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you have read above, Scar was actually known as Taka. On day, while hunting, he went astray into some Cape Buffalo, and got hit in the eye. His father then dubbed him Scar.

Zazu's position has been played ever since Ahadi (Mufasa's father) ruled the Pride Lands. His mother, Zuzu, was recommended by Rafiki as the Kings helper.

Sarabi would have been murdered by Scar if Simba had not shown up. She would have acted as his 'scapegoat,' for all else the lion had done.

Rafiki is actually a mix betweena a mandrill and a baboon. The animators wanted color, but they wanted a baboon, so they kept his body as one, but changed his face to a mandrill's.

The heyenas are old enough to have been around in Ahadi's days, meaning that they are older than Scar and Mufasa.

I hope this article has been of interest! I found the information very much so, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! 'Hakuna Matata!' http://www.lionking.org/characters/

Nala means luck in Zulu. I was watching Ripley's Believe it or Not one day and they showed this Zulu village in South Africa where this girl wasn't developing proberly while her mother was still carring her. They said she had like a very low chance of surving let along being born. But since she was born the family named her Nhala (pronunced Nala) which means "luck".

How do you know that Mufasa's father and mother are Ahadi and Uru? Are you sure Scar's cubhood name was Taka? And how do you know that he got his name during an accident? Are you sure that your source of information is reliable?

scar's real name is taka, but he got his scar differently. taka loved sarabi, but sarabi loved mufasa. taka saw mufasa and sarabi kissing, so then he tried to kill mufasa. then ahadi, mufasa and taka's father, stopped taka and hit him, giving him a scar. taka called himself scar after that.
