Let's say the Empress's Bodyguards, or the Navy Seals of Gallente, etc.
What could be a cool name for these types of elite soldiers per Faction. Feel free to inspire me
Amarr: Echelon, Templars, Chosen,
I'm of course a huge fan of the W40k mythos and always loved the concept of power curve
human>human soldier>human hero without enhancement> space marine > space marine hero > primarch > custodian (elite bodyguard) > emperor
Amarr: Paladins, Crusader, Sentinel (since the amarr sentinel existed first)
Minmatar: Valklear, Einherjar (volunteer soldiers), Berserker, Jarls, Jotunn, Vanir
Caldari: more contemporary definition as the megacorps are highly traditional and conservative. Grenadiers, Shocktroopers, Elite Corps, Scout Snipers, Sappers, Etc.
Gallente: More poetic and evocative names since Gallente seem to push style as well as function. Unit nicknames or descriptors mixed and matched eclectically to show the gallente diversity of personality: Federal Marines, Black Eagles, Rangers, Helldivers, Spartoi (supernatural warriors born of dragon's teeth), Special Operations Capable (SOC), Stalkers (infiltration and assault inside enemy lines), Etc.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Toughest does not mean popular. The black eagles, for instance may have an INCREDIBLY bad rep. But they are some of the most viciously effective operatives in New Eden.
They are also responsible for the adaptation of new gear types to unexpected use.
Strapping battleship guns on a mining/security hull resulted in the Talos battlecruiser, a Black Eagle design.

Stuff like maroons, musketeers, franks (after their francisca's) Precisely
This was the intent I read from the get-go.

For a stealthy matari unit like the black eagles?
Svartalfar. The original "dark elves" and Norse mirror of the Gaelic Sidhe Fae. The name translates to "black elves.
While I personally can't find a whole lot on them that isn't vague they seem very similar in concept and method to the Sidhe, who were bound from lying.
But they were incredibly stealthy and were the masters of decieving people with bald-faced truth, often having the prize desired by an enemy standing in the open, hidden to eyes searching for secrets.
Can anyone confirm that the Svartalfar were similar?
