Godzilla = Go - zilli
Gorilla = GO rilla (strong like a gorilla)
Whale = ku JIRA (comes from ocean)
Ergo:
Go - jira = gorilla/whale = Gojira, anglicized = Godzilla
Godzilla’s name actually has nothing to do with God.
I'm referring to dialogue within the movie.
Who translated God from Gorilla ? Men are gorillas. At least some of us. Lol.
