Hey there,

Kirbopher here. Creator of the popular growing flash series TTA. Glad to join the forum, dunno why I didn't 'til now. Gotta question for ya.
Now, a LONG time ago, back when I knew next to nothing about the Majin Buu saga in general, I heard of a villain character on another DBZ site called "Double". Eventually I saw Dabura, king of the demon world, when the Buu saga came out in english. Then, after that, I got one of the U.S. Bruce Falconer CDs "Buu: The Majin Saga", and the first two tracks were called "Gohan vs. Doubler"...aaaaand then on Daizenshuu EX, and several other sites, he's reffered to as 'Dabra'.
Now, my theory was that the character's name actually meant "Devil". Reason being, Supreme Kai (Yes, I'm calling him that, please don't kill me x_x;; ) was very worried when he saw that Babidi managed to get him under his control. I thought that maybe he might've been Akira Toriyama's representation of the Christianity Devil, being such an evil being, and since he had been mostly been using references to other religions and mythology. Obviously, they didn't say he was from the Hell that had already been introduced, but rather that he was the king of the Demon World. Still, with Surpreme Kai being so worried, and if Dabura WAS like the representation of our devil, it would've made a bit of sense.
Now, I'm NOT fluent in Japanese, but I DO know about romanizations with katakana. Obviously, if Dabura's name were to actually be 'devil' then his name would be "Debiru". However, I wasn't sure if "Double", "Doubla" or "Doubler" would really be related to his character's allusion at all. So, yeah I'm probably overanalyzing, but just WHAT is his name alluding to? Is there some other reference or bit of information I didn't see, or wasn't really touched on anywhere?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
