Gigalith's English and Japanese names may have been derived from ''{{wp|gigas}}'', a term used to describe a race of earth-born {{wp|Giants (Greek mythology)|giants}} in Greek mythology, and the Greek word ''lithos'' meaning "stone." It could also be derived from {{wp|Goliath}}. Finally, the name could also be derived from ''{{wp|monolith}}'' meaning "a geological structure consisting of a single massive rock or stone." The Japanese name may also be derived from "{{wp|Gaia (mythology)|Gaia}}", the {{wp|Greek (mythology)|Greek goddess}} personifying the {{wp|Earth}}. | Gigalith's English and Japanese names may have been derived from ''{{wp|gigas}}'', a term used to describe a race of earth-born {{wp|Giants (Greek mythology)|giants}} in Greek mythology, and the Greek word ''lithos'' meaning "stone."
