The Geeta's full name is "Bhagavad Geeta" meaning "Song of God" or "Divine Song"
The Quran comes from the Arabic word Qara'a which means "to read" or "to recite"
The Bible comes from the Latin word Biblia which means "Book"

Geeta;- Bhagavad Gīta भगवद् गीता, is part of the epic poem Mahabharata, located in the Bhisma-Parva chapters 23–40. A core sacred text of Hindu (Vedic) religion and philosophy, the Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is a summation of the Vedic, Yogic, Vedantic and Tantric philosophies. The Bhagavad Gita, meaning "song of the Lord", refers to itself as a 'Yoga Upanishad' and is sometimes called Gītopanişad. ...
Quran;- The Holy Book of Islam: the highest and most authentic authority in Islam. Quotations from the Quran are normally followed by a reference to the number of the chapter (sura) and the number of the quoted verse (aya). All Quranic texts in this publication are printed in Italic.
Bible;- # the sacred writings of the Christian religions; "he went to carry the Word to the heathen"
# a book regarded as authoritative in its field

Gita is essence of all Vedas and Krishna has said in it " O Arjuna the transidental knowledge I have given u nothing can be added or subtracted" While Jesus Says " I have to give u so much but u cannot bear it now"(which was said as Bible came much later than Gita and people then had then not so much of developed conscience) . U can consider Gita as The biggest dictionary while Bible and Quran(Delivered as per different conscience level of people) as the pocket dictionary.

The word Bible comes from the Greek "ta biblia" which means "the books" (plural). Not just one book.

Excellent question. Since I was unable to quickly locate the literal meaning I will define one for you right now that will work for all those types of books.
Bible, et al, = Big book with a lot of fictitious bull$hit to make you feel as if there is some "thing" out there that is going to get you if you don't comply to governmental requirements.
