Gaea/Gaia = World or Earth in Latin(I think it's Latin sweatdrop ). Dis is a prefix for not, anti, etc.
The "Hour of Darkness" subtitle I'm still unsure of. I think it meant to referr to the fact that the Netherworld had no actual ruler and there was fight over it, therefore it was sorta like a "Dark Age"

On a side note, "Dis" is also the city on the fifth layer of Hell in Dante's Inferno.

"Gaea" can also mean paradise, which is what Hell (the Netherworld) isn't. 3nodding

I think I might have got it. (Thanks Achan and Kamdas) It might be the fifth layer of hell's world.

Was looking around and came upon this:Quote: Dis- The second layer of the Nine Hells is a burning city of iron. The red glow of infernal heat burns within the scorched iron walls, and a pall of smoke rises up to form a general dark haze over the entire layer. Some claim that Dis is concealed within a great ring of mountains, for the layer is the city, and the city is the layer.
So I guess "Disgaea" could mean two things really, since there's the Earth and Hell in the game and the title personifies that with these two affixes.

Well there's also an heaven....
I think it's to the fact the whole game is very unheard of (playing the next overlord.....wtih exploding penquins, flash gordon rip offs, and even an angel)

Personally, I think a name isn't that big a deal. It's the game play and story that's the REAL catcher for ya.

The Japanese title is Makai Senki: Disgaea.
From what little Japanese that I know Makai means Netherworld...what does Senki mean?
