4 = Four fingers left - เหลือแค่ 4 นิ้ว (อาจจะสื่อถึง การมีผู้รอดชีวิต 4 คน)
Dead = ตายห่ะ
Left4Dead = เดิมทีผมเข้าใจว่ามันมาจาก They are left behind for the dead. คือ พวกเขาถูกทิ้งไว้ให้พวกอมนุษย์ หรือ They are left behind for being dead. พวกเขาถูกทิ้งไว้เพราะตายห่ะไปแล้ว
จริงๆ แล้วทาง Valve ชี้แจงไว้แบบนี้ครับ
Valve says the cover represents the title of the game, due to the hand being the "left" hand while only having "4" fingers while also being "dead," making up the title (Left 4 Dead).
Also, others have speculated that the hand has some sort of significance to what transpired during the first two weeks, as another image of this hand being x-rayed can be seen in The Hospital level in No Mercy and is in the very first scene of the intro cutscene.
A thumb was added in the German and Japanese version for censorship reasons.
