About the Singapore Merlion
Singapore’s national icon – the mythical Merlion, which possesses the body of a fish and the head of a lion, is located at Merlion Park, One Fullerton, Singapore, near the Central Business District. It is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore.
The Merlion’s fish-like body symbolises Singapore’s origins as a fishing village, known as Temasek – a name which comes from the same root as the word tasek (‘lake’ in Malay).
The statue’s head represents the city’s original name Singapura (lion city in Sanskrit). According to legend, Sang Nila Utama – a Srivijayan prince of Palembang – landed on our shores amidst a storm at sea. The prince spied a strange creature which he identified as a lion, thus giving Singapura its name.
This design is an original depiction and illustration of the Merlion by Sammyeve.
