The "World Men's Curling Championship"(singular because only one men's team is crowned champion) is named after the sponsor of the event or the trophy given. The World Men's Curling Championship began in 1959 as a competition between the Canadian and Scottish national champions for the "Scotch Cup"(1959-1967). The event became the "Air Canada Silver Broom" or simply the "Silver Broom"(or "Air Canada Silver Broom World Curling Championship, ""Air Canada World Curling Championship, "or "Silver Broom World Curling Championship") from 1968 to 1985, years during which the Silver Broom Trophy was given to the winner. Different sponsors or the lack of a main sponsor account for the following names :"Hexagon World Curling Championships" from 1986 to 1988, "World Curling Championships" in 1989 and 1990, "Canada Safeway World Curling Championships" in 1991 and 1992, again the "World Curling Championships" in 1993 and 1994, and the "Ford World Curling Championships" since 1995. 1, record 1, English, - World%20Men%27s%20Curling%20Championships

The expression "World Men’s Curling Championship" is singular when only one champion is crowned, which was the case for the curling competition from 1959 to 1978. Since 1979, the plural form "World Curling Championships" is used because the same competition determines the winner in the men’s, senior men’s, women’s and senior women’s categories; this generic designation was and will be used every time no official sponsor gives its name to the event. Nevertheless, "World Men’s Curling Championship" is still appropriate to distinguish the men’s event inside the "World Curling Championships.". 1, record 1, English, - World%20Men%27s%20Curling%20Championships

Silver Broom: The name given to the trophy first awarded at the "World Curling Championship" which was limited to men; the name stayed associated with the "World Men’s Curling Championship" after 1979. The designation "Air Canada Silver Broom" was also used, adding the name of the airline company sponsoring the event to the name of the trophy given to the winning men’s team. 1, record 1, English, - World%20Men%27s%20Curling%20Championships

Le «Championnat du monde de curling masculin» (au singulier parce qu'une seule équipe est couronnée championne) est nommé d'après le commanditaire principal de l'événement ou le trophée remis. Tenu la première fois en 1959, le Championnat du monde de curling masculin consiste en une rencontre entre les champions canadiens et les champions écossais pour l'obtention de la coupe Scotch, ce qui donne au tournoi le nom de «Coupe Scotch» de 1959 à 1967. L'événement prend le nom de «Balai d'argent Air Canada» ou simplement, «Balai d'argent» (ou le «Championnat du monde de curling Balai d'argent Air Canada», «Championnat du monde de curling Air Canada», ou «Championnat du monde de curling Balai d'argent») de 1968 à 1985, années au cours desquelles le trophée Balai d'argent est remis au vainqueur. Les divers commanditaires qui ont suivi, ou l'absence de commanditaire, expliquent les noms donnés par la suite : «Championnats du monde de curling Hexagon» de 1986 à 1988, «Championnats du monde de curling» en 1989 et 1990, «Championnats du monde de curling Canada Safeway» en 1991 et 1992, à nouveau «Championnats du monde de curling» en 1993 et 1994, et «Championnats du monde de curling Ford» depuis 1995. 1, record 1, French, - Championnats%20du%20monde%20de%20curling%20masculin

L'expression «Championnat du monde de curling» s'écrit au singulier lorsqu'un seul champion est couronné à l'issue d'une compétition, ce qui fut le cas de 1959 à 1978. Depuis 1979, on utilise la forme plurielle «Championnats du monde de curling» parce qu'en une même compétition se tiennent les épreuves de curling masculin et féminin et de curling sénior masculin et féminin; cette désignation générique a été utilisée et le sera encore lorsqu'aucun commanditaire majeur ne donne son nom à l'événement. Néanmoins, «Championnat du monde de curling masculin» sert encore à identifier l'épreuve masculine à l'intérieur des «Championnats du monde de curling». 1, record 1, French, - Championnats%20du%20monde%20de%20curling%20masculin

Balai d'argent : Le trophée de ce nom ayant d'abord été remis alors que le «Championnat du monde de curling» se limitait au curling masculin, le nom est demeuré associé au «Championnat du monde de curling masculin» après 1979. On utilisait également «Balai d'argent Air Canada», joignant le nom de la compagnie aérienne commanditaire du championnat à celui du trophée remis à l'équipe masculine championne. 1, record 1, French, - Championnats%20du%20monde%20de%20curling%20masculin
