Christian interpretation Although Aslan can be read as an original character, parallels exist with Christ. According to the author, Aslan is not an allegorical portrayal of Christ, but rather a suppositional incarnation of Christ Himself: If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity, he would be an allegorical figure.

Meaning:Lion. A striking name of Turkish origin, Aslan is a boy's name that means “lion.” This powerful title is derived from Old Turkic and was used as an epithet for Turkish emperors in the Middle Ages. The name Aslan is best known from the famous novel series by C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia.

His avatars are different in each world, as are his specific attributes and abilities. It is clear that on Earth, Aslan is Jesus Christ. C. S. Lewis writes in The Last Battle that in Aslan's Country, Aslan no longer looks like a lion.

In the real world, Aslan is Jesus Christ. Aslan transcends dimensions and can appear in multiple forms depending on which world he is in. In Narnia, he looks like a lion, but he is designed to act as an allegorical representation of Jesus Christ, who is a member of the Holy Trinity in the Christian faith.
