The first letter B indicates what the diode is made of, i.e. B stands for Silicon, hence it is a Silicon diode in this case (it could have been a Germanium diode if the first letter was A instead of B). And the second letter, Y in this case stands for the function of the diode, i.e. Rectifier (As these diodes are often used in rectifier circuits). Other second alphabets could be A, B, or Z which stand for separate functions (which I don't remember at the moment).

What is a power diode?
A Power Diode is used when a large current is involved which needs a larger junction to dissipate the heat generated. An advantage of using the Power Diode is it is able to withstand high voltage without being damaged. A disadvantage about the Power Diode is that being a large junction it is unable to stand high frequency applications.
What is the PIV rating of diode?
A diode will provide saturating current if it reaches its Piv. What it should be well at least 1.5 of the applied reverse voltage. For AC at least 2 times to insure that the peak REVERSE voltage is blocked
How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?
