GAIA is a Greek name coming from the Greek mythology and is a collateral form of "γη" ("ΓΗ" in capital letters).
In Greek both: "Γαια" and "Γη" mean: Earth.
The pronunciation of "Γαια" in Greek is: Yea.
From Γαια-Γη derive the words and names: George, Geography, Geology etc.
The Greek letter "η" (eta) in Greek pronunciation is "i" (as the word: is) and in Latin is "e".
The Gaia that is used in Italy probably comes from the Latin Gaius (Gaio in Italian), rather than the Greek mythological Gaia. In Italian the Greek Gaia is known as Gea (from the Latinised form Gaea).
