Deino may come from ''dino'', a slang term for a dinosaur, and ''ein'', German for one. Deino could also be derived from the ancient Greek word ''deinos'', which means terrifying. Monozu probably derives from ''mono'', a Greek prefix meaning ''one'', and 頭 ''zu'', Japanese for ''head'', its full name literally reading ''"one head"''. | Deino may come from ''dino'', a slang term for a dinosaur, and ''ein'', German for one.
