It was the name of the Lion on Squalls Ring, etching on Squall's Gunblade, and on his Gunblade case. In the final fight Ultemicia looked into Squall's mind and made it real as her GF. Maybe she thought Squall wouldn't be able to kill something he loved or maybe she thought something from the person that beat her would be strong enough to beat them. But it looked really cool.
