Meaning of Wael
Wael is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “one who takes refuge”, “tribe”. It is the name of some companions of the Prophet ﷺ, such as Wael al-Qail and Wael bin Abil Qu’ais. Wael is derived from the W-HAMZ-L root which is used in the Quran in Surat al-Kahf.
And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find a refuge. (Quran 18:58)

I’m Wael. No it does not mean Lion, it means he who seeks shelter or refuge, as the person stated above. Lion would be Assad or Laith.
