Idk. I wanna say research, and and that the names are just popular. There are some differences though between games at least, like FF and the Tales of series both use Ifrit/Efreet as their fire deity but with other elements will get changed (FF has Garuda for wind usually, Titan for earth, Leviathin for water and Tales has Sylph for wind, Undine for water, and Gnome for earth).

That and FF tends to reuse concepts like having a character named Cid, the Biggs and Wedge characters, often there's an incarnation of Ultima Weapon, etc. etc.

But yeah as far as elemental beings goes I'm thinking:

Ifrit- Lord of Flames (Fire)

Sylph- The Mischievous Gale (Wind)

Undine- The Lady of Purity (Water)

Gaia- Lady of Nature (Earth)

Quezacotl- Wings of the Storm (Lightning)

Celsius- Lady of Frost (Ice)

Malboro- The Poisoned Barb (Poison)

I still need one for light, dark, and gravity.
