- 1 Engrar: This is the fascinating part. "Engrar" does not translate directly in any major language. It may be:
- Theory 1 (The Runic): Engrar comes from "Engra" (to carve) + "Rar" (deep in Old High German). Thus: "Carved from the deep."
- Theory 2 (The Accidental): The original Japanese title was Yoshino Kaibutsu-tachi no Umi: Eien no Graffiti (Yoshino Monsters of the Sea: Eternal Graffiti).

- Theory 3 (The Author): Some claim "Engrar" is the last name of the developer— an indie creator using the pseudonym "H. Engrar" who vanished from the internet in 2010.
