Etymology

[edit]

Potentially attested as Mederiacum and Moderiacum around 300, attested with certainty as malica in 943. If the oldest attestations refer to the current settlement, a derivation from Latin *Mederius (a personal name) or *Moderius suffixed with -acum is possible. If the oldest attestations do not refer to the current settlement, a derivation from Latin Melius (a personal name) suffixed with -acum is possible. Compare Meiderich.
