Yeah, her name would be written like 電光 in kanji...following the romanization system used a lot in the 70s/80s, it could be written in English as "Denkoh". The word literally comes out as "lightning", and I know the Japanese versions of the 1963 and 1980 anime use the same word "Denko" for their versions of the robot.
