Thought it would be fun to make a full list for this.
Kuuga: "Empty Self" Agito: "I move" in Latin, as mentioned before G3: Generation 3, just to sound like a cool designation for a manmade Rider G3-X: Same as G3 Gills: Refers to his and his character's aquatic themes Another Agito: G4: "Generation 4", same as G3 Ryuki: "Dragon Knight" Knight: Knight motif Scissors: For cutting Zolda: From "soldat", German for soldier Raia: From the Latin word "raia", used in scientific context to refer to rays Gai: Some kanji that can be pronounced this way include "harm", "arm oneself", "armor", "white", "infancy", and "anger", among others. Ouja: "King Snake" Tiger: Imperer: From "impala" Odin: Germanic/Nordic god Femme: Verde: "Green" in some romance languages Ryuga: "Dragon Fang" Faiz: "Fives" (555), or "Phi's" Kaixa: Greek letter Chi is pronounced kai, also sounds like "Kaiser" Delta: Delta (Δ) Psyga: Psi (Ψ) Orga: Corruption of "Omega", I guess Blade: Wields a blade, Spada means blade Garren: French name that means "Guardian", Chalice: The Minor Arcana counterpart of the Suit of Hearts is the Suit of Cups Leangle: A leangle is an aboriginal war club Glaive: A sword Larc: L'arc is French for bow Lance: A lance could parallel Leangle's polearm Hibiki: "Sound Demon" Ibuki: "Intimidating Breath Demon" Todoroki: "Roaring Demon" Zanki: "Beheading Demon" Danki: "Bullet Demon" Sabaki: "Judgment Demon" Eiki: "Sharp Demon" Shuki: "Crimson Demon" Gouki: "Strong Demon" Toki: "War Demon" Shouki: "Victory Demon" Banki: "Barbarian Demon" Kabuki: "Dancing Demon" Touki: "Freezing Demon" Kirameki: "Gleaming Demon" Nishiki: "Western Demon" Habataki: "Feather Attack Demon" Kabuto: Kabutomushi, the rhinoceros beetle, or kabuto, a helmet Thebee: Drake: A drake is a dragon, Drake is a dragonfly Sasword: Sasori (scorpion), sword Gatack: Kuwagata, attack KickHopper: He kicks PunchHopper: He punches Caucasus: Caucasus beetle Hercus: Hercules beetle Ketaros: Honestly can't figure this one out. Den-O: Short for "Train King" Zeronos: I'm guessing it's "Zero" adapted into a cool name Gaoh: "Fang King" Yuuki: "Dark Steam", homonym of ghost Kiva: "Fang" Ixa: Could mean "ixer", the French pronunciation of X (a cross) being "ix". Saga: Japanese word "saga" means "one's nature", "tradition". Rey: "Rei", cold. Arc: The word arc has a variety of meanings. Something more specific might be obvious to someone who's seen all of Kiva. Decade: 10 years of Heisei Riders Diend: "The End" Kivala: Feminine twist on Kiva W: "W" is pronounced like Double in Japanese Accel: Accelerator Skull: Skull Eternal: That's just his motif, okay?! OOO: Representing 3 medals Birth: Happy birthday! Poseidon: Greek god of the sea Aqua: Aqua Fourze: Four Zero, fortieth anniversary Meteor: S p a c e Nadeshiko: Japanese name Wizard: not a magician Beast: Beastly Wiseman: Who knows, but it sounds magicky Mage: Mage Sorcerer: Sorcery Gaim: Gaimu, "Armored Warrior" Baron: European chivalric title of honor Ryugen: "Mysterious Dragon" Zangetsu: "Beheading Moon" Gridon: Ornac Kurokage: "Black Shadow" Bravo: Bravo, bravo! Encore! Knuckle: For punching Duke: European chivalric title just below a monarch Sigurd: Mythological Nordic hero Marika: Arabic for "queen" Zangetsu Shin: "New Zangetsu" Jam: Jamu, "Wicked Warrior" Bujin Gaim: "War God Gaim" Fifteen: Fifteen Heisei Riders Mars: Roman god of war, or Malus, a genus of apple trees Kamuro: "Crown" Idunn: IĆ°unn, Nordic goddess of apples and youth Tyrant: Well, he wishes he was one Saver: Does not actually save things Black Baron: Rotten bananas Drive: Cars Mashin Chaser: "Advance Demon Chaser" Mach: Mach speed Chaser: Chases Lupin: Fictional French thief Ghost: Specters Specter: Ghosts Necrom: Necromancer Extremer: The extremest Ex-Aid: Officially short for "Extreme Aid" Brave: Brave knights Snipe: Guns Lazer: Spelled very similarly to "Racer" Genm: Genm Corp. Para-DX: Pronounced "paradox", a pun on Parado Poppy: Poppy Cronus: Greek god who was overthrown by his son Zeus. His name is pronounced like "Chronos", the Greek personification of time. True Brave: Actually fake Brave Fuma: "Wind Devil" Build: Building, something something science Cross-Z: Pronounced like "Claws" Cross-Z Charge: Super cool Grease: Robots Rogue: Night Rogue Zeronos is simply zero + chronos which makes sense if you know Yuuto's story Nadeshiko derives most likely from Yamato Nadeshiko a term that is used to describe someone as the ideal Japanese Woman Ryugen means dragon's breath As for Fuma I would like to add that it is also a nod to Kotaro Fuma a well-known ninja from the feudal era.

Well now, that was interesting! I originally asked the etymology of the Heisei Riders, and got some fascinating answers, so thanks for that!
To complete the curiosity and keep the streak alive, what about the etymology of Heisei Rider Villains? If anyone is interested in such information. |

Orphnoch is a portmanteau of Orpheus and Enoch(clever cause both have relations to life and death)
Imagin is a portmanteau of imagine and majin, which makes sense in that their form is the result of people's imaginations Fangire is a portmanteau of fang and vampire Dopant is befitting in that the gaia memory is an impurity that is injected in to the human body to change people Zodiarts is just a portmanteau of Zodiac and arts it seems though I am unsure what the arts has to do in a contextual sense Inves apparently derives from the term Invasive Species it seems Ganma literally translates to eye demon which matches the whole eye concept Bugster is a portmanteau of bug and monster

It's kind of weird for me to admit, since I really liked Ex-Aid while it aired, but I like Build so much I've lost all interest in the show pretty much. I'm still going to watch movies and such when they get subbed, but I've moved on alarmingly fast.

While Kiva could just an an alternate spelling of kiba "fang", I think it's suppose to be Kiba+Vampire.

Rephrase: I miss weekly NEW Ex-Aid's haha.
I've been hooked on Build myself, it's been a fantastic series so far. At the same time though, Ex-Aid left me wanting more to the story. You don't get many shows (even in general) that don't have any filler to it at all, Ex-Aid was insanely good. |
