One way of saying 'giant' in Latin is Vir maior quam pro humano habitu. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'vir' means 'man'. The adjective 'maior' means 'bigger'. The relative 'quam' means 'than'. The preposition 'pro' means 'for'. The noun 'humano' means 'human race'. The noun 'habitus' means 'habit'. The smooth, less literal translation therefore is 'a man bigger than customary for a human being'. Another way is gigas. This noun comes from the ancient, classical Greek language and mythology. A giant was one of the sons of Earth and Tartarus. These giant sons tried to storm the heavens. They were killed by the lightning bolt of the Greek god Zeus, who became the Latin god Jupiter.
