- The Spanish term for the 'water' element in Aquaman shares a root with the word acueducto, which refers to the ancient Roman systems used to transport water to cities.
- In some older Spanish dubs of comics, the character was referred to as El Hombre Acuático, which emphasizes his status as a human rather than a branded superhero identity.
