This is only a partial answer as iI don't actually think the names of characters came from anything else, just chosen names.
However, in the case of Britannian Terminology, alot a lot of it comes from Legendslegends.
Arthurian Legendslegends
The Elite group Suzaku joins, the Knights of the Round, is based fromon the Knights of the Round Table, i'm. I'm quite sure each of their Knightmares areis named after the member Knights.
Lloyd Asplund's Irregular Special Research Division, Camelot, is named after the Castle/Kingdom Arthur would rule.
The Britannian Capital Pendragon is the family name of the monarchy that rules Camelot. ie Uther Pendragon and Arthur Pendragon.
Norse mythology
The Ragnarok System is named after the foretold end/resetting of the world, Ragnarok.
Luciano Bradley's Valkyrie Squadron are named after the ValkariesValkyries, who, just like the squadron, are all femaleswomen.
Greek
- The Sky Fortress Damocles is possiblepossibly named after Damocles in the Greek Anecdote the Sword of Damocles and more so how the fortress was much. Much like the sword, the fortress would be hanging over the earthplanet as an imminent and ever-present peril to the earth with it'sits payload of F.L.E.I.J.A. Warheads, had it reached orbit. (funnyFunny enough, the Fortress and the F.L.E.I.J.A. firing switch sortasort of resemble swords)
Other
- On the Wikia under Trivia for the Sword of Akasha it mentions the Nasuverse uses of Akasha. looking up on WikipeiaOn Wikipedia this matches to Thethe Akashic records; however, this is a Theosophy Meaningtheosophy meaning and there are other meanings for Akasha.
As a Notenote, under the trivia of Kyoshiro Tohdoh's first Knightmare in The Black Knights, the Zangetsu, it says
Zangetsu is also the name of main character Ichigo Kurosaki's Zanpakutō in the hit anime series Bleach. Ichigo Kurosaki's English voice actor is Johnny Young Bosch, the same English voice actor as Lelouch Lamperouge. Also, Tohdoh's Zangetsu's color scheme is black and red, the same as Ichigo Kurosaki's.
It should be noted that Bleach'sBleach first airing pre-datespredates the start of Code Geass, so it is possible the choice to cast Johnny Young Bosch as Lelouch in the englishEnglish dub stemmed from his role as Ichigo, Zangetsu's wielder of Zangetsu.
