At first Kenshin's name was Shinta, but Hiko Seijuro named him Himura Kenshin when he started to teach him hiten mitsurugi ryu.

Rurouni Kenshin is an amazing(In my opinion) manga that is about a rurouni (wanderer) named Himura Kenshin who was once a hitokiri (assassin) called Battosai who killed many to start the Meiji Era. Now he carries a reversed edge sword (sakabato) to prevent him from killing. He soon meets a young girl, Kamiya Kaoru who owns a dojo. Along the way he befriends people like Sagara Sanosuke and Myojin Yahiko. Kenshin encounters many foes from his past and the present and fights to protect the present. READ IT!!
Kenshin died from lepresy. Also, Kenshin had passed this disease to Kaoru through sexual intercourse. ^^ That's not canon, that happened only in the second OVA (Reflection). In the manga, Kenshin does not die. His Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu becomes ineffective due to the strain it has exerted on his body so he can't use it anymore. He retires and lives happily ever after with Kaoru. Ohh and I don't think that was supposed leprosy. Different people have different theories on what the disease was but it may very well not be a real disease. It's something he got from using his swordsmanship too much.
No, they aren't going to make a season 2 of Rurouni Kenshin. If you want to find out what happens next, read the manga. All of Kenshin's history and a little bit of his future is in there. Watch the OVAs if you want to know all of what happens to Kenshin.
Kenshin loved Tomoe when he was 15, but she's dead. At first Kenshin doesn't show any sign of affection to anyone, but he later shows and tells Kaoru he loves her. Hope this answers your question!
