I think that Clarent, Caliburn, and Excalibur were variants of the same word. The tales were originally within the province of the troubadors, orally transmitted. Later they became text, and thereby addditional variants were introduced. The languages were not static either. Just my 2¢.

The story I know, and as it is told in Le Morte D'Arthur, is Arthur pulls a sword from the stone to prove himself as the heir to the throne, and later, after he breaks that sword, the sorceror Merlin leads him to the Lake of Avalon where Arthur is presented with another, better, sword which is Excalibur. Though he is told that the scabbard is worth much more than the sword, Arthur still values the sword more.

I'm trying to think if the original sword in the stone had a name. I have Mallory around here somewhere. Maybe I'll look it up.

An early Welsh source says that the sword in the stone was named Caledfwlch, but Excalibur is thought to be derived from that. It was probably hard to Latinize Welsh accurately.

 

[Myrddin]

I looked through the beginning chapter of Le Morte D'Arthur last eve, and the sword in the stone was never mentioned by name in that. It was just the sword.

Caledfwlch and Excalibur are the same sword; Caledfwlch is just the older name, and Excalibur more modern.

 

[The Bane-less]

According to the old Welsh poem, Arthur had three weapons;
"The sacred weapons that God had given him:
Rhongomiant his spear,
Caledfwlch a sword,
and Carnwennan his dagger."
