Gaia... a primordial heartbeat, the first seeds of our existence. Radiating with groundedness and natural beauty, Gaia is reminiscent of the profuse, flourishing meadows which we have collectively abandoned in favor of the city. A tribute to the web of life which sustains us all, Gaia is nurturing but indomitable, much like the earth itself. In a world that constantly rushes forward, Gaia walks curiously and cautiously, taking her days one step at a time. A valuable poem in the garden of words, she encourages us to appreciate the boundless wonders of the natural world... beautiful.

I love the meaning so much. Earth is truly and absolutely my element. Beautiful, fresh, green valleys; ancient, mountainous terrain; a stream running through a forest - this is what comes to mind when I hear the name Gaia.

A beautiful, unique name. It means Mother Earth, such a special meaning. And as for “gay” - most people don’t even pronounce it like that, it’s GA-ya or GIE-ya. It seems it should be the name of a beautiful warrior princess, perhaps. And it ages very well. I would use it to honour a family member with a similar name.

In my book that I'm currently writing, one of the main characters in named Gaiana and goes by Gaia. I also have a character named Giana, though I think it's alright to have a Gaia and a Giana. It's a beautiful name, and I even considered it as a nickname for my name (Maya).

The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet. Topics of interest include how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms affect the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other environmental variables that affect the habitability of Earth.
The hypothesis was formulated by the scientist James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s.

The Gaia that is used in Italy probably comes from the Latin Gaius (Gaio in Italian), rather than the Greek mythological Gaia. In Italian the Greek Gaia is known as Gea (from the Latinised form Gaea).

I disagree. I think that the name Gaia in our country, Italy, is referred to the literal sense of the name. In fact, Gaia means "happy person, person with a joyful temper".

I stand corrected. As you say, Gaia means "happy" in Italian and that is the main reason behind the name's use in Italy.
But it is also a Latin name. It was used as part of the Roman wedding ceremony: "Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia" (as you are Gaius, I am Gaia).
