Very detailed answer, but I have to tell you that a Japanese person would NEVER use shingeki no kyojin with the meaning of "attack on titan". It is always the kyojin who is doing the action. Ask 100 people on the street and 100 people will tell you so.
There are many words in Japanese that means “attack”: 攻撃 (kougeki), 襲撃 (shuugeki), etc. Note that the second kanji, 撃 (geki), is the same one for the examples shown.
The Attack Titan shares the same Japanese name with Attack on Titan: 進撃の巨人 (Shingeki no Kyojin?). Eren's Titan form is modeled after the body of mixed Martian artist Yūshin Okami. References
