The new name does provide some insight i think. Crocea Mors was named yellow death not after any disease it was named such because of its (most likely) extravagant decoration being that of Ceasar's and the deathportion comes from the myth that any enemy struck by it would die. I for one believe this is more of a reference to the fact it is simply a weapon to kill Grimm. A standard sword for killing Grimm. It's prowess would come from the wielder. Jaune's Grandfather and now Jaune. It was easily able to decapitate that Ursa. As for the shield i would think it was maybe not standard but definately simply for defending against Grimm. Jaune's Aura is will most likely be how he makes them special and truely his although giant ethereal swords and energy blasts seem a bit over the top.
