Etymology of HALBURT

The term "Halberd" or "Halbert" has a rich etymology and history. It originated from the Middle English word "hellebard" which came from the Old High German word "halmberaht". This Old High German term is a combination of "halm" meaning "handle" or "staff" and "beraht" meaning "bright" or "shining".

The name "Halberd" refers to a weapon that was commonly used in medieval Europe. It consisted of a long shaft or handle with a sharp blade on one side and typically a hook or a spike on the other side. The term developed as a combination of the words for "handle" and "bright" because the weapon was renowned for its long handle and the often polished or shining blade.
