Ryo Hayasa (Hayasa was giving to me as alast name by a good friend )
translated it would mean

Hunter the Swift/Fast/Quick not Dragon Ryu = Dragon
Ryo = hunter

sange means 'dying a glorious death' in one way of meaning. also buddhistic repetation (chanting maybe?).

yasha means female or indian demon (yaksa) (different sources say different things).

the others are mostly named after famous japanese ww2-battleships (who may be named after generals, i dont really know).

Musashi is named after the Japanese samurai Miyamoto Musashi who was known for his creation of the Nitten Ichi Ryu sword style. It's a double sword style, hence the two blades you get.

true that yamato was a battlship during wwII.. but it means "japanese spirit"

kamui means "protecter of the gods" and "destroyer of the gods" or something like that... haven't watched x for a long time and forget what they say of kamui's name, heh

not sure of zanba, but it was sanosuke's (kenshin) hiring name... and he had a huge sword too, though i forget what that was called

not sure if snow queen has to do anything with ice demon/oni/fairy of japanese lore

I'm pretty sure that Zanba means "big sword" in Japanese, but i'm not totally sure.
