Well, to answer the first half of your question, "Kisame" is actually two Japanese 'words' that Kishimoto [the creator of Naruto] stuck together. 'Ki' means energy, spirit, or in the Naruto world, Chakra.'Same' is an easy one. It means Shark.So his first name literally translates to 'Chakra Shark'Now for his last name, that's anyones guess. I've heard people say it means various types of fruit, but I doubt that's what Kishimoto intended. It's probably something much more clever. Kishimoto again used two Japanese 'words' together for his last name.'Hoshi' means Star. 'Dunno why he picked that, but eh.'Gaki' means Punk, or Brat. That one is confusing too. Maybe his last name was inspired by something Kishimoto liked? Either way, there's your answer.
"Kisame", when it's kanji (Japanese character) is read, is actually supposed to mean Demon Shark. Given Kisame's appearance, it's fairly obvious why. It can also be interpreted by the meaning of it's two kanji, the "Ki" meaning chakra/energy while "Sama" meaning shark, which is a reference to his sword Samehada which is capable of "devouring" chakra.
Hoshigaki, on the other hand, means persimmon. That's it, there's not supposed to be any sort of special meaning to it. Apparently Kishimoto decided to give the 7 Hidden Swordsmen of the Mist last names that were all fruits (ex. Zabuza's last name, "Momochi" means peach). And it with Kisame, it's persimmon.
