A bard is an old word for a poet, especially one who told or sang stories out loud, often about heroes and history. It comes from old Celtic culture, where a bard had a real, respected job in the community. Today people mostly use the word in two ways: to sound old-fashioned or poetic ('a wandering bard'), or as a nickname - 'the Bard' (with a capital B) almost always means the English writer William Shakespeare.
