East-Thuringian Magdala and Ma(g)del, but Maina and Moinwinida?
Critical reflections on some geographical names and their history. ‒ The
linguistic origin of the hydronym Magdel in connection with the toponyms
Magdala and Madelungen is analyzed in this article, based on the historical
forms from the 9th century. Various spellings from the Middle Ages will be
discussed here. Special focus is also put on the question whether the name
Maina can be connected with the only historical form Moinwinida. With the
help of other geographical names in an important historical documentation
there can be given a final answer as well as a proposal for identification of
some up till now only once documented historical names in Thuringia. The
resulting conclusions about those names with the element –winida are relevant
for the complete Central German region around the year 1000.
