    "Gran"
    I believe it's "great" in Spanish. Common word for luchador names. Hamada is simply a last name.

    "Naniwa"
    Old name for Osaka(2nd biggest city in Japan). Gran Naniwa's gimmick is simply Osaka. Crab is from a seafood restaurant in Osaka which is famous for a big crab display at the entrance. He wears the uniform of the Hanshin Tigers pro-baseball team. His entrance music used to be(may still be) a TV commercial song for another famous restaurant.

    "Jushin"
    This is a made-up word that supposed to mean the "*** of beasts."

    "Lyger"
    I don't know why NJ spells like this when "Liger" is a combined word of "Lion" and "Tiger".
