Gerade is a German word, meaning Even and Ungerade is its antonym meaning odd or uneven.

What are the meanings of t2g eg levels in crystal field theory?

These are exists in d-orbitals only. "e" refers to doubly degenerate orbitals.It consists of two d-orbitals. "t" refers to triply degenerate levels orbitals. It consists of three d-orbitals. Degenerate means having same energy. They derive from group theory. The "g" tells you that the orbitals are gerade (german for even) - they have the same symmetry with respect to the inversion centre.

What is meant by t2g and eg in octahedral splitting of d orbitals?

This is a little complicated for here, so bear with me. Eg is the simpler of the two to explain. It's a set of two orbitals (that's what the E means) which is gerade (g); that is, even: the wavefunction is symmetric through a center of inversion. The opposite is u for ungerade, meaning that the sign of the wavefunction changes through the center of inversion. T2g is three orbitals (T) which are asymmetric (2) with respect to a C2 axis perpendicular to the highest Cn symmetry axis but which is symmetric in sign (g) through the center of inversion. You really probably should look at a good inorganic chemistry text for a better explanation. I don't have my copy of Huheey's Inorganic Chemistry handy, but I recall it having a pretty good discussion on crystal field theory (with pictures, which helps a lot in clearing up some of the symmetry discussion).
