Does anybody know about other names and their meaning? Kumpuru, for instance?

No, I think they named the blade purposely after the flower, for some reason.

I think they were looking more for the coolest looking marketing word to describe a product.

Wikipedia
Sardius
Strong's Concordance, Hebrew dictionary interprets the Sardius from the Hebrew word ����� ôdem, (o'-dem), as redness, that is, the ruby, garnet, or some other red gem. Present day dictionary calls it a deep orange-red variety of chalcedony. Then goes on to describe chalcedony as a translucent to transparent milky or grayish quartz with distinctive microscopic crystals arranged in slender fibers in parallel bands. Sardius was the first stone in the first row of the Hoshen, the breastplate worn by the Levitical priests, according to the book of Exodus 28:17.

As a speaker of Japanese, I can assure you that outside of Matsush*ta, Senkoh, and Shamada, none of their blade or rubber names are of Japanese origin. In general, Japanese companies like to use foriegn names for their products whose meanings have little, if nothing, to do with the actual product itself.

There are so many names like that... Bryce (canyon?), Feint? (wiki:Feints are maneuvers designed to distract or mislead. The two types of feints in militairy tactics are feint attacks and feint retreats.) Catapult(medevil ages weapon) Tempest? (Wiki: TEMPEST is a U.S. government codename for a set of standards for limiting electric or electromagnetic radiation emanations from electronic equipment such as microchips, monitors, or printers.) and how about DHS Hurricane?
