Answer 1

The Himalaya is a mountain range in Asia, separating the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. By extension, it is also the name of the massive mountain system which includes the Himalaya proper, the Karakoram, the Hindu Kush, and a host of minor ranges extending from the Pamir Knot. The name is from Sanskrit himālaya, a tatpurusa compound meaning "the abode of snow" (from hima "snow", and ālaya "abode"; see also Himavat).

The Himalaya (pronounced with a long "a": Himaalaya) range runs for about 2,400 km, from Nanga Parbat in the west to Namche Barwa in the east. The width varies between 250-300 km. The Himalayan range comprises three parallel ranges, arranged by elevation and geological age.

The youngest of the three is called the Sub-Himalayan Range (Siwalik hills in India) and has an elevation of about 1,200 m. This range is made up of erosion material from the rising Himalaya. Running parallel to this is the Lower Himalayan Range, which has an elevation between 2,000–5,000 m. A number of Indian hill stations such as Shimla, Nainital,Gangtok,Kalimpong and Darjeeling are located here. The northernmost range is called the Great Himalayas and is also the oldest of the three. It has an elevation of more than 6,000 m and contains a large number of the world's highest peaks including the three highest, Mount Everest, K2 and Kangchenjunga. Much of Nepal lies in the Himalaya. The Pakistani states of Baltistan, and the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh lie mostly in the Himalaya. The southern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China also lies on the Himalaya.

Langtang Himal
Manaslu Himal
Rolwaling Himal
Jugal Himal
Gauri Sankar Himal
Kanjirowa Himal
Khumbu Himal

Answer 2

Himmalays are just Himalayas but the ranges are separted according to the heights of the peaks.

On the outermost edge next to Nepal are the Greater Himalayas or the Himadri, which have the highest peaks (i don't know the exact values)

Next are the Himachal which have slightly lesser peaks.

The range of Himalayas with lowest peaks are the Shiwalik, which continue into the Arunachal Pradesh and Assam of India where it branches into two smaller ranges.

There are also two parallel ranges in Jammu and Kashmir called the Ladakh and Zaskar, which do not form the three mentioned above but are part of the Himalays.

I hope i answered ur question to the point and not making it too complicated.
