Lionheart nor Qrow ever referred to the Maiden by name. We have assumed it is Vernal because there has been cirscumstancial evidence pointing at it.

Also, Raven could have acquired the Maiden powers after she abandoned the Ozluminati, so Qrow wouldn't know it is her. We don't really know how old she is right now and the only limiter to becoming a Maiden we were given is that you can't be a "hag". Spring went missing more than 10ys ago, Raven could have been young enough to claim the powers at the time.
