No biggie. Better to ask than not.

Squall's reference was more geared towards Kingdom Hearts with one of the keyblade's you can acquire from him being dubbed "Lionheart" from the Japanese " ライオンハート". Doing a little bit more into your search, I find one Leonhaldt and one Leonhart. Along with the Squall translation, it might just be flexible but I'm no expert to judge.

To answer the question you were trying to get at, no, the most we get for the actual connection with Lionheart (although I may have to recheck mothy's Q and As) is the original 2008 mention of him being the captain of the guard "with the name of the lion" and mothy's  statements drawing a lot of his inspiration from literature on the medieval era early on. Nothing explicit.
