The Death's of 2012 site reveals that on July 10, Lol Coxhill, 79, English jazz saxophonist, had passed away after short illness.[1]
His first name seemed odd to me, so out of curiosity I went to his wiki page. Note the following excerpt;
Lowen Coxhill, generally known as Lol Coxhill (19 September 1932 – 10 July 2012)[1] was an English free improvising saxophonist and raconteur.
I then did a google search on the etymology of Lowen and at the top of the list was this site and excerpt: http://www.houseofnames.com/loewen-family-crest
The distinguished surname Loewen is derived from the Middle High German “lewe”, meaning “lion.”So, what are the chances of a third |lion" passing away in the last three days (see previous post). It's odd that he was given the nickname LOL... Laugh Out Loud .
This is what Google brought up in my search of 3 Lions:
The escutcheon, or shield, featuring three lions is traced to King Richard I of England's Great Seal of the Realm, which initially used a single lion rampant, or else two lions, but in 1198, was permanently altered to depict three lions pass
