REMEMBER: Wizards Of The Coast does not own DDB, they are two different companies. When you buy a physical book, WotC receives the money you bought it for, not DDB and vice versa. If you want a digital key to get an online book for free because you have the hardcopy book then DDB makes no money because you don't buy off DDB you buy off WotC, so please stop making threads about this issue. DDB needs money to continue helping people and servers aren't cheap.
If you mean leonins from the Theros campaign setting, it's because they're lion-like cat folk from a series of settings where both leonins and lions exist. Leonin in MtG basically means 'lion-folk'
It's less that 'leonins look like lions' and more 'lion-folk are called leonin'
I should've worded my sentence better, that is what I meant.

Why should they be called leonins when they do not look like lions? Leo means lion, literally.
