If there are any theories, mentioning them could be better than nothing. Anyway, in regard to that long list of ancient names: what non-locals called it are mere distortions of the Canaanite name. Only the Amarna letters might render the local name of the time correctly, although the royal scribes might have used the Akkadian version expected in diplomatic correspondence; plus that we don't have a secure transliteration of the cuneiform. As of any connection to <i>migdal</i>, I would guess there is none, as the final 'l' is part of the word, not just a suffix, but I'm not a scholar. Mary M.'s town is quite universally identified with the one from the shore of the Sea of Galilee called <a href="/wiki/Magdala" title="Magdala">Magdala</a> in Aramaic, Hebrew and <i>migdal</i> were rather out-of-fashion in her time. <a href="/wiki/User:Arminden" title="User:Arminden">Arminden</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Arminden" title="User talk:Arminden">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tel_Megiddo#c-Arminden-2019-01-13T16:44:00.000Z-The_etymology_section_doesn't_say_what_the_word_means." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:44, 13 January 2019 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Arminden-2019-01-13T16:44:00.000Z-The_etymology_section_doesn't_say_what_the_word_means."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Arminden-2019-01-13T16:44:00.000Z-The_etymology_section_doesn't_say_what_the_word_means."></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="External_links_modified" data-mw-thread-id="h-External_links_modified-2017-05-20T05:02:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-External_links_modified-2017-05-20T05:02:00.000Z"></span>External links modified<span data-mw-comment-end="h-External_links_modified-2017-05-20T05:02:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Tel_Megiddo&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: External links modified"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-InternetArchiveBot-2017-05-20T05:02:00.000Z-External_links_modified"></span>Hello fellow Wikipedians, </p><p>I have just modified 3 external links on <a href="/wiki/Tel_Megiddo" title="Tel Megiddo">Tel Megiddo</a>.

So the name of the tell in various languages comes first, and that of the city comes after that. </p><p>The Arabic name one finds in archaeological literature is Tell el-Mutesellim. Not Tell Mejidu or alike. What was indicated as the Arabic name, مجیدو , is according to the S. Morse transliteration tool "MGDW, MJDW, MGDU, MJDU", so Mejidu or similar. 1) "Tell" is missing, and 2) I don't see anywhere in the article the claim that there was an older Arabic name preserving the original Canaanite one, as has been often the case in the region. So I smell BS here.
