I thought he was a pirate, why would the scourge of the seas and enemy of the Queen name his ship as her weapon? did he mean Henry VIIII's wife Anne?

Sometimes governments gave rights to the pirates to represent them in their wars. The most popular form was to give a license to a private sailor to attack enemy shipping on behalf of a specific king – Privateer. Very often a privateer when caught by the enemy was tried as an outlaw notwithstanding the license.
Blackbeard (a.k.a. Edward Teech) was "licesned" by the throne of England, thus he would take the name of his soverign in some form for his ship.
