It' shortened from garasu (japanese translation of glass) so i guess it's a pass (?)

It's not even a "translation" really, it's the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "glass" (because it IS the English word glass, it's a loanword). To make matters worse, shortening it to "Gara" is literally saying "Gla" in English.

Ga = G (or more accurately the "guh/gah-lass" sound in glass)
ra = la
su = ss

DE basically went English -> Japanese -> English

Right, maybe translation isn't the right word to use, *localization would fit more.

 

(I talked about this in another post, dunno why i post so little here, probably because how often i browse the forums while still half asleep...)

It's a character from Naruto,and DE usually avoids anything that has even the slightest chance of creating copyright issues

Its also the name of a character in Bastard, but its irrelevant to copyright.
