What does "Kuuga" actually mean?

Though more than that, it's likely to be deriven from "Kuwaga", short for Kuwagatamushi(stag beetle), Kuuga's overall suit motif

That's what I thought aswell.

Kuuga - Kuwagatamushi
Agito - Awaken
Ryuki - Dragon Knight
Faiz - 555
Blade is Blade
Hibiki - Echo Demon
Kabuto - Kabutomushi
Den-O - Electro-King
Kiva - Fang
Decade - 10 Years
Double is Double

I thought Kuuga also meant 'empty me'? It was meant to show how pure hearted Godai was.

That's basically just a direct translation of the kanji, since Kuuga isn't really a word. Clear-self or clairvoyant is a pretty good translation that gets the real meaning across imo.

The Lords were around to protect the humans from the Grongi because the majority couldn't themselves and there weren't Agitos back then as they didn't start evolving until recently, which is why the Lords only started attacking in 2001.

Agito takes place 4 years after Kuuga, which should be in 2005.

But in Kuuga, Kuuga was Rinto name for Warrior, which originally came from the Grongi language.
 
Agito was said to take place 2 years after the end of the attacks by the Grongi. That is contradicted by the fact that it is said as early as in episode 2 to be the year 2001, while Kuuga was set in 2000.
 
I think this is why people (even the show itself) pretty much like to ignore the fact that they tried to connect them early on.
 
But didn't they say it had been 4 years since the Grongi last was seen.

And Kuuga had the New Year Special, episode 46.5 show it was the year 2001.

Yes, Kuuga ended in 2001, just like most other series until Kiva would end in the beginning of the next year. They also specifically say in Agito that it has been 2 years since the unidentified lifeforms were defeated while the entire way through it is also known to be 2001.
