Now here's info about Gaira's name:

Gaira's name comes from "kai" (海), a Japanese word for "sea," and "-ra" (ラ), a common suffix in kaiju names. In the script for The War of the Gargantuas, Gaira was given the name Sea Frankenstein (海フランケンシュタイン Kai Furankenshutain). In the international English export dub of The War of the Gargantuas, Gaira is called Gaillah, with the double-L sound pronounced as "Y" (STARZ's closed captions for the film spell it as Gaiya, however). In the U.S. English dub of The War of the Gargantuas, Gaira is called the Green Gargantua (グリーン・ガルガンチュア Gurīn Garuganchua). The English subtitles for the Japanese audio on Classic Media's DVD release of the film spell Gaira's name as Gailah. In his stock footage appearance in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Gaira is called Bigfoot Gaira (人型巨大生物・ガイラ Hito-gata Kyodai Seibutsu Gaira, lit. Giant Humanoid Creature Gaira).
