Mediolanum means more "mid-land".

In german Milano is "Mailand".

Medionalum came from Celtic Medhelan, which means something like "middle earth".

Another way to understand the name "Mediolanum" comes from a "myth-animal" painted in an ancient building of the city: "la scrofa semilanuta".

For more information read this... unfortunately is in italian.

Cheers

I thought the name Milano has a latin derivation: Mediolanum- "medio-lanum" - in the middle of fog .
Anyway great city, where the best team of the world comes from: FC INTERNAZIONALE !
