The name claymore does not originate from the Celtic word claidheamh mór, which means "great sword", "long sword" or "two-handed sword", in Scottish Gaelic. Claidheamh mór does not refer to the basket-hilted broadsword, but to the longer, earlier medieval weapon. The name instead derives from the Scottish and Scots Gaelic word claidheam(h), meaning "sword" (genitive singular "claidheimh"), and mor, meaning "great" or "big", i.e. the 'great sword' (in the medieval sense). The basket hilt, in Scottish Gaelic called beart dearg ("red lightning") or cas chrom ("bent foot") was developed in post-medieval times. The claymore is sometimes nicknamed "the Scottish Bastard Sword".
