Iranian here, fairly certain "Arslan" meaning "lion" was originally a Turkish word before everyone started borrowing it. That said, there is the Persian epic of Amir Arsalan, but there are no connections to lions in that tale as far as I know.

Fun fact: "Shere Khan" from Jungle Book translates as, "King of Lions" in at least one language.
