Disambiguating:

The line of Judah is a tribal blood line, whereas "the lion of Judah" is both a symbol of that blood line and a specific individual born into it. It can be a confusing matter because when the phrases are spoken the words "line" and "lion" are hard to differentiate.

Line of Judah:

The Jewish patriarch Judah and his descendants make up the line of Judah. In fact, the term Jew itself is derived from this patriarch's name. Famous individuals born into this line include King David, all of the subsequent kings of the House of David, and Jesus Christ.

Lion of Judah:

The lion is a symbol of the line of Judah: "Judah is a young lion" (Genesis 49:9). Incidentally, the lion is the government symbol for the modern day city of Jerusalem. Evidence from the Ethiopian Jewish tradition suggests that the title "Lion of the tribe of Judah" was used to refer to kings of the House of David. In Christianity, Jesus Christ is seen as one of those kings and is referred to as "the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David" (Revelation 5:5).

What is the meaning of the name judah?

The meaning of the name Judah is "thankful". Judah's mother Leyah said the word upon Judah's birth. The exact phrase was "This time I will thank the Lord," and named her son Judah. It comes from the word "Todah" which is "thank you". Interestingly enough, the word "Hod" in Hebrew means majesty, which is a similar root to the Hebrew "Yehuda" or Judah, and the royal line also passes through the tribe of Judah. What came first is a bigger question, "hod" or "yehuda".
