Why are lions depicted so much in European stuff?

For example "the British lion" and Norway's Coat of Arms... Lions aren't in Europe, so why are there so many lions??

Maybe because of what lions stand for. Power. Perhaps a name that involves lions gives power, or makes the person who invented a lion-isa name for a product feel like it will sell better, because of a 'powerful' name. ;)
