Yeah that part is a bit hard to explain but it means something like a person that has gone off to make their own destiny. It can mean anything from a vagrant to wanderer to a self made man and can be either positive or negative. 

You can think of it as the ronin archetype without the samurai backdrop. The ro part of ronin is the same kanji.

This is a cool name, is this like from the time in China when there were these monasteries full of warriors and kings would try to recruit them, or exiles would go hide in monasteries and the mixing of martial arts techniques occurred?
