What makes a samurai name?

Samurai names pair a Japanese given name with a clan surname drawn from feudal history (Takeda, Oda, Date, Sanada). Bushido culture prized honor, lineage, and loyalty, so the name carries weight and dignity. Many historical samurai were known by clan first. The vibe is the age of the sword: discipline, duty, and the way of the warrior.
