-Deino may be a combination of ''dino'' (informal name for ''dinosaur'') and ''ein'' (German for ''one''). It may also derive from δεινός ''deinos'' (Ancient Greek for ''terrible''). It may also refer to dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Deinosuchus}}'' and ''{{wp|Deinonychus}}''. Deino may also come from Deino of the {{wp|Graeae}} due to its blindness, three sisters in Greek mythology who share one eye.

 Monozu may be a combination of ''mono'' (prefix meaning ''one'') and 頭 ''zu'' (head). Its full name literally means "one head".
