Well, I know that if you're thinking of the famous Japanese tv show, it's Kinpachi, not Kenpachi...

According to this online Japanese dictionary [url=http://]http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html[/url], -pachi means "snapping (e.g. fingers) sound, and apparently ken has other meanings as well.

It really depends on the kanji used to write it. Different kanji may have the same pronunciation but mean totally different things. For instance, "shi" can mean "four", "poem", or "death." I'd have to look up the Bleach kanji to tell.
EDIT: Checked up on the kanji and translated them. Kenpachi: Ken=?=sword pachi=?=eight
Eight swords? Eighth sword? Some hidden meaning? Eight is an auspicious number in Asian cultures...
