One way to interpret the phrase "Guilty Gear" would be as "Gears that are Guilty." The word "gear" can be used to mean a part of a larger machine, so one might be able to interpret the title as "the guilty machines of war." To take it a little deeper, the title could just be a metaphor that means "humans are creatures that cannot stop fighting."
