Do you think there are lions in England, Czech Republic, or Belgium? Yet all of them have lions in their coat of arms, symbols etc. This is exact logic they made Stormwind a lion =)

No, but there used to be lions in southern europe and northern africa during roman times. The closest lion to Stormwind is over the ocean in Kalimdor - so it's like the Czech coat of arms was a llama

Definitely one possibility but far from the only one.
