What does Yuki no kitana mean?
Does it mean a sword made of snow?
a sword controlled by snow?
a sword that controls snow?
Something entirely different?
I know i'm not giving you much to go on, but any help is appreciated.

Yuuki (勇気) means courage, yuki ( 雪)means snow. However, without the context or the original kanji I can`t be sure of the translation, as yuki (行き） can also mean bound for, or a name as said above. If if it is not katana (刀 sword) but kitana then the na could be emphatic and kita could be 北 (north) or 来た(came). There are almost certainly other readings, so I am totally confused...

Kitana no Yuki, Yuki no Kitana, I would have to assume that Kitana is meant to be Katana.
As others have said, Yuki has multiple meanings, its either a Male or Female name (usually female, but I met a guy named Yuki as well) It also could mean Snow.
So it would be Yuki's Sword, Sword of Yuki, or Sword of Snow.

Yes as mickey22_jp has said you must mean Yuki no KATANA.
I'll agree with her translation as well. Most likely it means something like "Snow Sword / Blade" or "Sword / Blade made of Snow".
Or like you mentioned a sword that can control snow.....
Oh and "Yuki" can also be someone's name. Usually a girls. So it could mean "Yuki's sword".....as in, "This sword belongs to a person named Yuki."
I take it you're watching an anime or playing a game?

Yuki = Snow
no = of
Katana = Katana (Japanese Sword)
Mostly means Katana made of snow
Like in legends, it might mean yah Katana that controlled or controlls snow or Person called Yuki`s Katana or Spirit of snow lives inside the katana or something strange...

Sword = kitana
no = of (ownership connotation)
yuki = snow
Yuki no kitana
I'd say 'Sword of the snow' (with connotation of the snow owning that sword)
Sounds like some action character's 'special move' on a computer game or something... :)

I guess you mean KATANA which is sword.
If I were to translate it, I would translate it as snow sword.
