The [[etymology]] of the {{langx|de|Hünenbett, Hünengrab}} and {{langx|nl|hunebed}} – with {{Lang|de|Hüne}}''/''{{Lang|nl|hune}} meaning 'giant' – all evoke the image of [[Giant|giants]] buried ({{Lang|de|bett}}/{{Lang|nl|bed}}/{{Lang|de|grab}} = 'bed/grave') there. Of other [[Celtic languages]], [[Welsh language|Welsh]] {{Lang|cy|cromlech}} was borrowed into English and ''quoit'' is commonly used in English in [[Cornwall]].
