Which city is known as lion city?

Question

Singapore

Answer 1

The name Singapore was derived from Malay words singa (lion) and pura (city), which in turn derived from the Sanskrit सिंह siṃha and पुर pura. Folklore attributes this name to a 14th-century Sumatran prince Sang Nila Utama, who, on alighting the island after a thunderstorm, renamed it Lion City after spotting an auspicious beast identified as a lion.The earliest written record of Singapore was a Chinese account from the third century, describing the island of Pu Luo Chung. This itself is transliterated from the Malay name "Pulau Ujong", or "island at the end" (of the Malay peninsula). The Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals) contains a tale of a prince of Srivijaya, Sri Tri Buana (also known as Sang Nila Utama), who landed on the island during the 13th century. Catching sight of a strange creature which he thought was a lion, he found a settlement called Singapura, which means "Lion City" in Sanskrit-
