The names "Asiatic lion", "Indian lion" or "Persian lion" were created in our days because if you look back in history most of the time these lions were found in specific asian areas. Plus they live only in India today!

One must remember that in the early second century A.D. Panthera Leo Persica aka asiatic lion today was extinct in Greece.
In an alternate history where this lion would have survived only in Greece i guess the name today would be panthera leo grecica and would be widely known as greek lion.
It's funny how a simple event can eventually give genesis to a series of facts and words!
