Aslan is a variation of Arslan. These are both Turkish names meaning "lion", so it was a very appropriate name for the character. :)

The above information, by the way, is from a Turkish name book I own, Adlarimiz by Aydil Erol, though I believe you could probably have also found reference to this on many sites dealing with Narnia.
