Interesting! I don't know about any names like this, but that is where the letters of the Hanukkah dreidel come from.The letters are Nun, Gimel, Hay, Shin; and they stand for "Ness Gadol Hayah Sham", which means "A great miracle happened there." So it's designed to remind players of the miracle of Hanukkah.
