Seems like there are several references like you mention for the word gekko at:
http://search.excite.com/search.gw?c=web&search=gekko&lk=apple

FYI: The lizard of which you speak is a gecko:
Any of various usually small tropical and subtropical lizards of the family
Gekkonidae, having toes padded with setae containing numerous suction cups
that enable them to climb on vertical surfaces.

Wonder why the 'k' was changed to a 'c'?
