Honestly, it's probably just a case of translators picking what they thought would attract more viewers. Marketers gonna market.

The title 'Shingeki no Kyojin' literally translates to 'Advancing Giants,' but 'Attack on Titan' just sounds way cooler, right?

Because it sounds epic and mysterious鈥攍ike, who wouldn't want to watch something called 'Attack on Titan'?

In short, 'Attack on Titan' is a more catchy and marketable name for English-speaking audiences. Plus, it emphasizes the action-packed nature of the series!
