In summary
From leeuw (“lion”) + -en- + bek (“animal's mouth”). The flowers can with some imagination be said to resemble a lion's gaping mouth, particularly when gently squeezed on the sides so that it opens up further. Compare German Löwenmaul (literally “lion's mouth”) and the etymology at English snapdragon.
