Meaning & Origin of Lone
Meaning: Devoted to Apollo.
Origin: Danish.
A common claim: Lone is sometimes said to mean 'lion'. Actually: That's not accurate - Lone is a short form of Abelone, which comes from Apollonia and the Greek god Apollo, not from any word for 'lion'. The mix-up is likely just because the names sound alike.
