Why is it called Bastard Sword?
When created it basically never really fit in to any family of swords, like the wakizashi fits in with the katana, or kunai fitting in with shuriken, things of that sort. Therefore, it never really had a family of swords and was not improved from another sword, therefore no "father" to this blade. Thus the name. The bastard sword gave origin to the longsword also known as a "hand and a half" sword. The name "bastard sword" has its own explanation rooted in the French epee batarde. This term was born of confusion over how to categorize the weapon.

Why does the bastard sword have such a questionable name?
Quite simply, it was/is a colloquial name for a hand and a half sword (from the French 'batarde') due to the simple fact that it is considered the bastard child of a Longsword (two handed sword) and an Arming sword (single handed). The design of the Bastard/Hand-and-a-half sword was intended to incorporate the benefits of swords used in one hand (thus usable with off hand items such as daggers, shields or rarely other swords), and the benefits of a sword in two hands (attacking and parrying with one universal blade). I from personal experience dispute the degree to which such designs were actually useful, training with Arming swords and training with Longswords is specialist to its relevant category and style, whereas the Bastard sword is not particularly effective at either style as it awkwardly tries to be both. Source: moderate Historical European Martial Arts training. [Counterpoint] Medieval knights, with which the bastard sword was popular, fought on horseback, as well as on foot. A short sword (arming sword) didn't offer the reach necessary for mounted combat; as the longsword wasn't a viable horseback weapon (requiring two hands while one was needed to hold the reigns). The versatility of the hybrid, or bastard, sword proved even more useful when dismounted, and the option of additional power was available by adding an extra hand. Additionally, in confined spaces like castle corridors and stairways, the leverage offered by a pivot-effect offered increased power. Note that 'moderate historical European Martial Arts training' was much more than most knights of the day had. Their military superiority came from fighting on horseback. Source: nerdiness.
