- In a Spanish context, the name Kratos is almost exclusively associated with the 'God of War' video game franchise rather than classical mythology.
- Spanish orthography typically replaces the Greek 'K' with 'C' in borrowed words, but the name Kratos often retains the 'K' to signal its foreign mythological origin.
