Yes you can but there are some condition you should understand first. Here Gmail and Google account can be considered 2 different parts. However, your gmail user name is your google user name. but if you have just deleted your only Gmail Account and not Entire Google Account than only you can recover your Gmail Back. But if you have deleted your entire Google Account (including orkut, youtube, etc..), than there is no way to recover that account again any how.
