Well but why Ryuukishi would use the wrong pronounce for Lion if he wanted to suggest it's the Lion of Judah?
I think EVANGELION is a more probable explanation for this.

Actually no. There isn't an Italian name of that sort. The animal's name in Italian is "Leone". Leone can be in fact both a first name and a last name (Sergio Leone anyone?), but in katakana it would be: LE-O-NE, quite different from LI-O-N.
