Is it a registered trademark?

Thanks guys.
Well, it is supposed to be translated to English in the future.

Can you tell me whats behind the name of this map?
 
I think there are a lot of books with the title "Gaia's something". It's the typical stuff that comes to mind when some kind of nature goddess is involved.
Maybe continue your research somewhere else; there's no trademark here, it's just a name we made up very very long ago.

Then again, I never heard of something like copyright or trademark protection when it comes to literature anyway, so I assume your attempt is pretty much pointless. You can name your story the way you like it, most of the time.

Just something to consider: this is sooo 08/15. I always wished I could rename the map as I feel the name is so much cliche for the story. Don't get me wrong; I know this has its origin in old northern mythology, but the name Gaia is so overused and boring that you sometimes want to vomit. I sticked to the name because it has earned some kind of fame in Warcraft III and I don't want to confuse people.
However, as you are writing a book, please don't fall into the deep cliche trap by using the name Gaias for an obvious type of nature related entity.
