Kiyomitsu's name is a bit of an exception. Technically, it should work the same way the Samonji or Kotetsu swords work (since there's more than one Kiyomitsu sword): The first part being the sword's "given name" (Kashuu) and the second being the "family name" (Kiyomitsu, the smith's name). Much like Sayo Samonji, Souza Samonji, Urashima Kotetsu, Nagasone Kotetsu, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Horikawa Kunihiro, etc.

But I'm guessing since the japanese fanbase did the opposite, and the fact that they're never going to add another sword made by Kiyomitsu to the game, they did the opposite as well and went with the japanese naming order. So now it's Kashuu (family name) and Kiyomitsu (given name).

In the anime you can clearly see this, since everybody who isn't too familiar with him uses "Kashuu", and Yasusada uses "Kiyomitsu". In exchange he does the same thing for Yasusada.

There's isn't exactly a set naming order, it all depends on the sword.
