It's just a moniker, due to the fact that he uses sand as a weapon.
Probably Not, Gaara Is Much Stronger.
Gaara lives in Suna. Which translated in English is the village hidden in the Sand. ^^
Their last names are unknown, but Gaara last name is Gaara of the Desert or Gaara of the Sand because of his abilities to munipulate sand from the Shakaku.. That's pretty much about him...
Gaara's gourd is full of sand, however, he can take regular sand off the ground and can even use his existing sand to grind up rocks and earth to make more.
Yes, he can.
Gaara
A sand beast
Not only is he from the Village Hidden in the Sand and later the Kazekage of this village, he is also the host of the one tailed beast Shukaku the Sand Spirit. This gives him the ability to wield chakra infused sand which is probably where he got the title. -cause he has a sand monster inside of him and they dont call him that. they call him gaara of the desert
yes but he won't have as much sand as before gaara can still use sand because its like baki with wind but with gaara and sand. this is correct although gaara no longer has shakaku inside of him. he controls the sand by his charkra although because the shakaku was removed from his body he no longer posses the ability to be able to defend from attacks by the sand instantly as that was the sand demon. he should still be able to use the ultimate defence as i believe that is himself who does that and not the one tail __________ The ultimate defence was never shukakus' power. It was his mothers love.
